Tokyo Police Club @ The Hammer Museum: Concert Review
Written by pistachionut on Saturday, 26 of July , 2008 at 1:18 pm
We’ve reviewed a TPC show before. But this one was different. Oh so different. It was actually my fourth time seeing them, and this was clearly their best show. Musically, the guys were on top of it. The barreled through almost all their tracks. The only song they didn’t play off the top of my head was “Nursery, Academy.” That disappointed me slightly, as its one of my favorite tracks of Elephant Shell. But that didn’t matter in the slightest. Because unlike any show of theirs I’ve seen, this one was a dance party. The crowd got mad crazy. At one point Dave Monks (bass/vocals) honestly asked the crowd to “uhh… can you guys crowd surf a little less? thanks.” The crowd surfing didn’t stop. It looked like the guys were even a bit surprised at the crowd’s involvement. By the time they came out for an encore of “Cheer It On,” the place was an absolute madhouse. We actually had a chance to sit down with the guys before the show and get an interview, which Gabo will be posting soon. Enjoy that when it comes your way. Here are some photos of the crazy night.
Opening band Afternoons. Their song “Say Yes” had the audience dancing.
Dave looking into the crowd.
Josh Hook (guitar) wandering over to the synths. We can’t help but notice that Graham Wright (keyboards) took the “Don’t Mess With Texas” sticker off his Alesis Micron. See the sticker in action here.
