Tokyo Police Club, TL & Rx, Beirut
All in one night.
Finally got to see Tokyo Police Club for the first time last night, opening for Ted Leo & Rx at the seaport. Pat's got some video. Enjoyed their set, even though the crowd was quite sucky. Wish I could have see these guys for the first time somewhere smaller, oh well. Two upcoming NYC dates, one at Old Volume Space Sat 9/23 and one opening for Art Brut / The Spinto Band at Warsaw Wed 10/18. Saturdays in Brooklyn are always fun. Never been to Old Volume Space and can't find any info on the place, other than their address, 29 Wythe Avenue.
As for TL & Rx, they were great as usual and played a rather long set with maybe just a little too many new songs to keep the interest of the aformentioned sucky crowd.
Much thanks to Ryan for hooking me up with a tix for Beirut later on in the night. What a fantastic show. I was nervous going in that it wouldn't live up to one of my fav shows of the year so far, but it did. So much fun. I heart Beirut. They're doing two shows at Bowery Ballroom in November, but you already know that. And oh yeah, caught some of Get Him Eat Him too and liked what I heard. They kind of reminded me of Tapes & Tapes, sort of. Wouldn't mind seeing them again. No NYC dates listed at this time.

were you one of hte two guys upfront that moved out after tpc?
Nope. I was stratigically positioned by the beer vendor for the entire show. Hell, I was the guy who convinced him to go get those big ass cups.
ok, figured since you said the crowd wasnt great that you were one of the guys who walked away after tpc. in all fairness to the crowd, i was up front and there was a good handful of people enjoying tpc and getting into it. i dont think more than 5 ppl up front knew who they were before they took the stage and yet the hand clapping very present. the crowd definitly was more responsive for them then dc snipers.
