Long-running Toronto band Tokyo Police Club are on their farewell tour, which wraps up in November with four nights in their home city. They just finished a two-night run at Los Angeles’ The Regent Theater with Born Ruffians, where stuck to a similar setlist both nights, playing largely from their first two albums, 2008’s Elephant Shell and 2010’s Champ, but also including favorites from throughout their discography, and swapping out some songs; night one got “Favorite Colour,” “Breakneck Speed,” “Graves,” “DLTFWYH,” “If It Works,” and “Your English Is Good,” while night two got “Not Sick,” “Hot Tonight,” “Sixties Remake,” “Pigs,” “Shoulders & Arms,” and “Listen to the Math.” They also started each night’s acoustic section with a different cover, The Strokes’ “Under Control” on night one and The White Stripes’ “Hotel Yorba” on night two, inviting the crowd to sing along. See both nights’ setlists, and photos from night two by Wei Shi below.
Tokyo Police Club will be out through the end of the month on the West Coast with a second leg of dates resuming in late October, hitting NYC for shows at Irving Plaza on November 19 and 20. See all remaining dates below.
