Tokyo Police Club at Toronto’s MOD Club
Tokyo Police Club cheerfully presented a private show consisting of 21 of their post-punk songs to a full house at Toronto’s MOD Club on November 09, 2008. The secret show, organized by local radio station Edge 102.1 and sponsored by Jack Daniel’s, was wildly successful and as much fun for the band as it was for the crowd.
Right from the start, the four band members fronted by lead singer and bassist Dave Monks captured the audience with the candid joyfulness in which they delivered their songs. The set started with “In a Cave” and “Graves” from the band’s current album “Elephant Shell,” this was followed by “Box” from the 2007 EP “Smith.” During the set Tokyo Police Club kept playing songs from the current album and earlier releases.
Tokyo Police Club just finished touring with Weezer, which Dave had good things to say about on stage. Guitarist Josh Hook, keyboarder and vocalist Graham Wright and drummer Greg Alsop, and Dave interacted cheerfully with the audience and with each other so that it was all in all a great show to watch and be part of.
Highlights of the show were when the band played hits like “Tessellate,” “Your English Is Good,” “Nature Of The Experiment,” or “Cheer It On” where the audience happily clapped and sang along. The show was definitely a treat, especially for those who recently saw Tokyo Police Club opening for Weezer in big venues and now were able to see them up close at this private and secret show at the MOD Club.
