Tokyo Police Club @ Metro - 5.5.08

Tokyo Police Club @ Metro - 5.5.08
With exams pretty much done now, it is time to return to rocking out, and what better way to do that than with a Tokyo Police Club show, eh? Saw these guys at Schuba's last year and was really impressed. Since then they have finally released their debut album and are touring in bigger venues to bigger crowds. There were two openers for the show last night, Smoosh and Maps & Atlases. Maps & Atlases were completely lights out awesome. They were really high energy, with some great songs. Their sound is kind of in the ...

Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell

Posted April 22nd, 2008 by BVaz · No Comments

Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell
Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell - Saddle Creek - 2008 One of the big buzz bands of the last few years, Tokyo Police Club up until now only had a couple of EPs out there, but today have come out with their debut full-length LP called "Elephant Shell". With this release they certainly are building off of the sound of their live shows and the previous EPs, and this certainly sounds a lot more focused than their previous releases. I saw these guys live last year at the great Schuba's here in Chicago and they put on an awesome show. ...

New Album Streamin’

New Album Streamin'
There are quite a few new album streams up on the interwebz today so I thought I would let you good people know about a few in case you are in the "try before you buy" phase on these. Certainly two of my most anticipated releases this year have to be Tokyo Police Club and Portishead's new albums. Well, MTVu has up a stream of the new Tokyo Police Club album, Elephant Shell, which releases this week, and Last.fm has up a stream of the new Portishead album, Third, which releases next week. In addition, MTVu also ...

Tokyo Police Club @ House of Blues - 4/1/08

Posted April 7th, 2008 by Daigle · 2 Comments

Tokyo Police Club @ House of Blues - 4/1/08
So Marcus and I went to the House of Blues to see Tokyo Police Club and Eagle Seagull. I had been to the Ballroom there many times, but had never been to the Cambridge Room. The Cambridge Room is really small and intimate and super cool. Of course, this inspires a certain amount of rowdiness from the crowd as I think that some people believe that since they are so close, they are actually a part of the show by shouting out jokes or something, but I digress. Eagle Seagull was already playing when we got there, but we ended up ...

BVaz Reports: October Concert Breakdown (Part One)

Posted December 28th, 2007 by BVaz · No Comments

BVaz Reports: October Concert Breakdown (Part One)
After the greatness of the September concerts, we indulge in the greatness of some extra spooky October concerts. We got to see a few new venues, and fortunately managed to stay away from Park West. We are starting to have some cooler weather around town, which will inevitably result in more drinking, just ask Russia. I actually wrote this first half of this a while ago, intending to add the rest, but I have been mega-slow doing it, so here is part one with part two TBA. So off we go... Of Montreal - Metro Daigle decided to ...
