"The Baskervilles", "Nursery, Academy" we haven’t played in ages. It’s a weird song to ‘lock into’.Īnd a lot of stuff off of Elephant Shell, we haven’t done in a long time. We were doing "Gone" for a while, on the new record, and we just kinda dropped that on the last little bit. They’re just songs where it just doesn’t make sense to play them live anymore. I don’t think we’ve played "La Ferrassie" probably since releasing Elephant Shell. GA: Yeah, we don’t play a lot of our old songs. QRO: Are there any songs you can’t play, because of the arrangement, or just don’t like to play anymore? Tokyo Police Club playing "Frankenstein" live at Terminal 5 in New York, NY on January 21st, 2011: So when you’re playing bigger venues, it kind of ‘hits’ in a different way. It’s nice to have, especially in rooms like, because it is kind of an anthemic song. Kind of for the same reason – it’s a different feel for the group than we’ve ever done before. I really enjoy "Breakneck Speed", actually. It’s a fun song it’s a different pace than most of our other stuff. We just started playing "Frankenstein" live, so that one feels really fresh. QRO: Off the new record, are there any songs you really like to play live?

GA: Yeah, it is – it’s kind of bizarre, actually! I hadn’t thought about that – they usually don’t fit our full name on the sign a lot of the time. QRO: Is it weird to be the band with the shortest name on this tour? GA: Throw a ‘Club’ in there! I’m gonna write that on their door… QRO: Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin ( QRO photos on this tour) should be ‘Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin Club ’… GA: Yeah – we’re calling it the ‘Club Pack Tour’. QRO: Have you gotten jokes about that you’re touring with Two Door Cinema Club? Did they ever play Toronto?ĭo you feel pandered to in that way – do people feel pandered to? Is it kind of pandering? I think if a band called ‘Toronto’ came to Toronto… There was a band called ‘Toronto’, I think. QRO: Maybe the people in Osaka are offended that it’s not ‘ Osaka Police Club’… We’ve only done a couple of shows – we’ve done a festival, an in-store, and a club show. GA: No, we’re not – I wish! I wish we were huge there, could actually do a tour.

QRO: Are you guys huge there, because of the name?

But as soon as you start playing again, they’re just like ‘rapt’. But they’re receptive, and they’re paying attention the entire time.Īs soon as you’re done, they’ll be clapping, enthusiastic. They don’t make a sound while you’re playing – they’re not a ‘rowdy’ audience at all. They are very politely there, but reserved. We haven’t been back since – hopefully we’ll be going there this summer, some point. We did it in 2007 the first time, and then again in 2008 I think we did it. QRO: Speaking of Asia, have you guys ever played Japan? Like with Two Door – they’re humongous in Europe. on November 9th, 2010 in the QRO Concert Photo Gallery It’s such a smaller population, so if a lot of people like you, it’s a bigger proportion.Ĭlick here for photos of Tokyo Police Club at Heaven in London, U.K. We have a bit more of a ‘mainstream’ audience – you have to put on more of a ‘mainstream’ show. It helps just to allow us to keep going – and growing, as well.Įspecially in Canada, where we have a bit more success with radio. Sometimes you need it, for international touring. QRO: Do you still get state support from the Canadian government, despite having become much more successful? But it’s definitely strange, looking back at those… I mean, we’re still friends with the guys, and so glad they’ve had that success. GA: Yeah, I remember those! We did a couple shows were Vampire Weekend ( QRO live review ) were the first of three. QRO: When you played Maxwell’s ( QRO venue review) in 2007, Ra Ra Riot opened ( QRO photos), and Vampire Weekend was the first band! So I like that we have this kind of organic growth. And so you will be constantly trying to grow as artists against what everyone else wants. And people will constantly be comparing your new stuff to that one thing that resonated with everybody. So it would be really tough, I think, becoming huge right out of the gate, because then that’s what people know you for. I hope that we can do this for a while, and I hope we haven’t peaked yet, either. It’s just kind of still always growing, and there’s always room to grow.Īnd I’m glad it’s happened that way. So it’s never felt like we’ve completely ‘made it’, in that way.
