This page is an account of my life and all its perky quibbles... so here are my thoughts, as well as some thoughts which are not so much mine, but those of the Ivy I've grown accustomed to hiding beneath...

Tokyo Police Club

Tokyo Police Club - Leeds cockpit - 7pm - Monday 8th November - Amazing :)
After arriving early, not realising that just because the doors open at 7, it doesnt mean that the band is on at 7... I decided that I was not going to let it get me down that I had to wait an hour and ten minutes for my favourite band to come on.

So the support band - Dutch Uncles - were ok, but in my humble opinion trying a little too hard to be as alternative as possible. The highest waistband ever award goes to the singer for sure haha.

The venue is small and dark and a little on scruffy side, with a sticky floor reminiscent of corporation in Sheffield. So small in fact that the band had to walk around the back of the room to get on the stage. I was stood at the back and when Dave Monks walked by. Of all the things I had in my mind to say when I met this amazing musician, the only thing I could muster was the urge to poke him as he passed, an I didn't even dare do that!
Through the set of amazingness, I stood, changing position as a 6ft4 guy stood in front of me, only for him to be replaced in my new position by another 6ft4 giant. So I decided to let go of the hope of seeing what was going on onstage. After all you dont need your eyes to hear great music :)

All in all a band I would definately see again :) Love it
