Tokyo Police Club Add Indy Stop
Tokyo Police Club, who will round out the summer performing select stops with Grouplove and Portugal. The Man, have added fall headlining dates, including a stop at the Vogue in Indianapolis, to their extensive North American tour. The Canadian run will be supported by Said the Whale, with appearances by The Pack A.D on some dates. See below for a full list of tour dates.
Furthermore, the band has released a new remix of their single “Hot Tonight,” off their latest album “Forecfield,” by Togetherness (aka Ross Clark and Nicky Paul of St. Lucia). Listen here.
“Forcefield” was produced by Doug Boehm (Dr. Dog, Girls) and David Monks (vocals, bass). Of the new music Monks notes, “Since writing started for Forcefield in mid-2011 there have been so many trends and every kind of ‘wave.’ We saw them all come and disappear or change into something broader. It left us wanting to make something that would last. We ended up rediscovering energy and guitars and simple, direct songs. There was certainly a lot of pressure to take the music somewhere new and there were lots of opinions about how to do that, but in the end we blocked all that out and followed our instincts. I think that’s what “Forcefield” is—it doesn’t matter what else is going on out there, the music just has to be honest and have a real feeling to it.”
Bursting onto the scene in 2006 with 16 minutes of music — “A Lesson In Crime” EP — that garnered an ecstatic response, the Newmarket, Ontario quartet has never looked back. Tokyo Police Club is Monks, Graham Wright (keys), Josh Hook (guitar) and Greg Alsop (drums).
