Track:Cheer It On
So after a fun, but tiring trip to the west Texas hill country, I came back to Austin and saw a great Canadian band. Tokyo Police Club released an EP a while ago, and managed some buzz, and I got to see them at Emo’s on Sunday. They Played with white denim, and Ra Ra Riot. White Denim was one of the local bands that I didn’t know about, their sound was jumbled and the band was really energetic. They could probably use a lead guitarist, because the lead singer, who also played drums seem to have a hard time managing both. Ra Ra Riot is one of the bands that I often hear about but I never get the chance to actually check them out. And now that I’ve obtained a glimpse I really wish I had know of them sooner. The many instruments present in this band sound include a guitar, drums, bass guitar, a violin and a cello. I really enjoyed them and will go on a search for there EP. The Four boys that followed showed some signs of inexperience but as soon as they started playing the crowed was riled up. Tokyo Police Club has been on tour for a while, but there hasn’t been a new release since the 2006 A lesson In Crime EP. They did play a lot of new material that the crowed hadn’t hear but still loved. There performance revived my enthusiasm for this bands future, and I now eagerly expect more music coming from them.
