Tokyo Police Club at Burlington Sound Of Music Festival – June 18, 2011

Check out their album Champ – Tokyo Police Club on iTunes & www.myspace.com/tokyopoliceclub

“For a band that burst on the scene with an ecstatically received 16 minutes of music (2006’s A Lesson In Crime EP) followed in rapid fire succession by additional EPs and singles (Smith, “Your English Is Good”) and a debut album (2008’s Elephant Shell) all in under two years time, you’d think 26 months between albums would be an interminable wait. And it might well have been for Tokyo Police Club, had they not toured relentlessly in support of that first album through August of 2009 — and started writing new songs virtually the second their previous record was put to bed.” More photos after the jump!
