Long-running Toronto band Tokyo Police Club are calling it quits this year, but not before one last tour and one last single. As to the latter, TPC have a double a-side featuring the anthemic “Just A Scratch” and wistful rocker “Catch Me If You Can.”
“Even in demo form, even before we knew they’d be our last releases as TPC, the songs FELT summative to me, full of everything that made me fall in love with this band in the first place,” says guitarist/keyboardist Graham Wright. “I hear bits that we might have come up with in the garage back then, and other bits we could never have dreamed up until right now. I hear all the music we ever loved and all the music we ever made – and most importantly, I hear US, the four of us, the hivemind that is TPC, with all its ideas and enthusiasm.” You can listen to both below.
As for the farewell tour, dates start in earnest on September 14 in Vancouver and wrap up with four sold-out Toronto shows in November. Most dates are with fellow Canandians Born Ruffians, including the NYC show at Irving Plaza on November 19. All dates are listed below.
You can get tickets early for Irving Plaza with the BrooklynVegan presale that runs Thursday, March 14 from 10 AM – 10 PM. Use password TPCVEGAN.
Any remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 15 at 10 AM.
