Canadian rockers it is back and in the comfort of the United States. No, we don't talk about the Arcade Fire, talking about Tokyo Police Club. Keep people! This band has had right from the start. If you an insight in your discography, it pretty much underestimated. From its inaugural EP, A lesson in crime, the sports such gems as "Citizens of tomorrow" and "nature of the experiment", in the last year's Champ, which offers lead single "breakneck speed" and other favorites such as "Bambi", is it obvious that this a band which is yet to disappoint his fans. The last night, you in stone chiselled.
I'm always ahead of me let me back up. The night is culture room in Fort Lauderdale not police begin Tokyo Club. This would be too fast for school and a show to cool. To beat someone loves you Boris Yeltsin to things slow down and the audience what was come prepared to the stage. Compare the energy and the stage presence of someone would loves you Boris Yeltsin to Tokyo Police Club the biggest mistake you could make the night. The energy that Tokyo Police Club on stage brought and transmit the crowd was contagious and brilliant. Other than all culture has space envisaged, as TV on the radio last "Wolf Like Me" played if previous released "to cookie mountain". Bat-shit-crazy, to say the least.

Still, not someone loves you Boris Yeltsin credit for your performance give to tonight foul play would. This band, which were many oblivious to at the show made a name for itself the second take stage. Antics, coupled with air tight instrumentation, won demanding frontman Philip Dickey's lot about, produce friendly moshing and endless crowd surfing. Their setlist was however a bit premature. Obvious excited the band showed their guns too early, and at the end of the sentence, the audience went back to your social networking, found in the comfort of their hands. Ah, young people.
Social networking, was put away but now Tokyo Police Club hit of the stage. -No surprise, though, raw as this relentless band the audience with chemistry, noise and commitment. But, in a very non-traditional way, this volume not only cater to his front man. Although Dave monks plays an important role within the band, his unique voice, given this volume would nowhere without the playful melodies of keyboardist Graham Wright or Josh hook's edgy, complicated lead guitar work. Forget not the robot behind the DRUMSET, Greg Alsop we. The chemistry that culture creates this band oozed in the intimate and close, walls of the room; If the skewness of monks on hook's shoulder for support that tossing about smiles tambourines hooks and Wright or the playful Alsop monks was. It's all authentic, making its audience this connection. What's more, the band is actually like you to be a great relief in an age on stage, where is apathy King.

Check out the setlist. It's raw power in the details. Looking back I can the explosion forget, experienced, if you unleashed "Nature of-the experiment" on the set. Hungry eyes and carnivorous mouth the song swallowed up and spit it back. Your pride for the now classic hit to show the amount played his role always limited go body surfing and moshing.
Halfway through the set, one thing seemed clear: Tokyo Police Club refused to supply a boring night. The band, which made it very clear when monks to mass announced that you went to a new song ("top 5") to play and that you quantity help here and there clap required. This adopted in other tracks, especially during the "citizen of tomorrow", where you would have sworn an orchestra the stage graced had. It was not one; Instead, it was a choir of fans, the soon to-be Canadian royalty conduct all night. This is what sold the show for everyone. This band on the stage wanted to be, you wanted to sweat your music, and you wanted to leave with a smile from ear to ear. I left with my chin up.
