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
