I went to high school with them. They were like the house band at talent shows.

The tones on every instrument are out of this world

That performance was so good that Letterman shit his pants. That's why he didn't get up to shake their hands at the end.

It's always fun knowing Dave lettermans such a big fan of these guys hahahaha

his bass sounds so nice in this :oooo

I love how the letterman band all start playing along on their tamborines :D

its a very distinctive sound theyve got, i like it

yeah, they're gonna go mainstream very soon, Deperate Housewives, Letterman, radio, ads for Elephant Shell everywhere. I even saw it selling in the airport along with only 50 other CD's (various genres) so they are getting mainstream. I hope their music is still going to rock though!

these kind of bands are the REAL new good music :)

Saw them on that tour. AMAZING! Hadn't heard of them before seein 'em live...and they had me digging their sound from the beginning. Killer show!

It's weird, I watched the video of them on letterman performing wait up. They have progressed so much. Still, always great and ALWAYS will be.

you are absolutely right..music is to be listened by those who enjoy it his voice is truly great and has such a particular style that is amazing

i love it De mis presentaciones favoritas.

awesome how everyone was using tambourines with TPC at the end. lovely.

ahhhh, i can't stop watch'n this. tomorrow night, seeing them live :)

they're so amazing, i love TPC

They KILLED this!

I saw them in the Opera House May 3rd. It was an amazing show.

Badassery.

wow,what a wonderful person you are

it's not ridiculously out of the ordinary for a bassist to be a lead vocalist. Sting from the Police and Lemmy from Motorhead are two well know examples

beautiful song

I crap a pantload near quarterly watching this!! While they rock, I’m betting Paul being Canadian himself made for the bands perfect participation (:

I live and work in Newmarket Ontario.... Great band

I live just outside Newmarket. I saw them play at The White Rabbit and there were only 50 people there, it was awesome.

i hope so because they rock

That's sick, man.

I think it was pretty cool how the Letterman show band was doing their part. :D

I like how they show the one guy @ 2:00 is surrounded by so many large keyboards while the actual one being played is the little Micron! GO MICRON! :) Nice track!

Big gig for the lads

wonderful.

And thats what makes a great band... I rarely see that nowadays though.

That was magnificent.

the drummer is super awesome.

David Letterman always brings the great bands on his show

well different people have different tastes in music. i love this song and in my opinion it is really catchy. otherwise i wouldn't have had "a lesson in crime" playing in my car for a few weeks straight, especially nature of the experiment!

Where is THE tessellate performance from 2008???

yeah Tokyo Police Club!!

theeey got style aWESOME

wow. one of the few times i've hard a band sound good on Letterman

woo hoo im seein them in june

Phil Lynott played bass and sang so does Jamie T, Mark Hoppus, and Joseph Mount from Metronomy occasionally does (trick or treatz)

True love.

the outro was tight.

Thats the EXACT outfit Dave wore at the Saturday show. Whoa.

yeah!

Yeah, there are a LOT of good bands that are either in high school or just out of it. That's how everyone starts :)

Yeah!

TPC are so good. I wish I had an Alesis like that.

yay, university of toronto represent! i knew that crest on the guitarists' t-shirt looked familiar...

@imonster242DRohrer44 so true man! I remember seeing them lives when they were still that little band from Newmarket, and now look at them!

thats fucking awesome how the they got there tambourines and played along :D

2022 still playing rugby 08 any1?

@Ra9806 I have an early 80s P bass and that is pretty much how it sounds plugged straight in with the tone control turned all the way up. His sound also has to do with the SVT head and SWR cab. You can get very close with any decent 410 cab and a tube head. Just bring the gain up till you get that natural tube compression and fuzz. No effects necessary.

yee they're really good

they are fucking amazing! i want them back here in brazil!!

i think we should take a lot of reflection on the strokes in this case...tokyo's music is timeless and such is the strokes. i say in ten years if we remember the strokes we can remember the sunburst of bands that were influenced by them and up the top will be tpc

the Paul Schaeffer band rocked the tambourines pretty sweetly.

what?? i missed this episode?!! well anyway, they were great at lupos last week...

They're from Newmarket, Ontario. And they're a great band..... As we can see.

these guys are just pro

anyday now tpc is just gunna be like really big. theyre soo good theyre just un noticed. but i notice them =]

the pianis is really cool the way he plays

ye yo the crunchy bass sounds nice styll

nice band ;) good sound, nearly indie and post rock

woah TPC are already becomin big, hope they come to australia

@SuperMaximo93 I believe the cab is an older SWR Goliath III.

WHOA!!! check that drum set

FUCKING AWESOME!

i'm pretty certain that tpc have said in a few interviews that this song is about girls, or the pursuit of women.

@Ra9806 It seems he plugs straight into his SVT without effects. He probably turns up the gain a lot to get that drive. And he definitely turns down the bass knob a bit too. Can't tell what cab he's using but its a 4x10 obviously which helps with the high end grind sound

@Ra9806 I couldn't really say but I've heard that as the pickups get older they tend to get warmer and loose some of that high end. I prefer a brighter crisper sound. Good equipment goes a long way.

Dam, its been 5 years since i was first saw this?

this is one solid fuckin band

pretty good

They ROCK!!! NEWMARKET HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE WIN!!!!

Are they coming to Mississauga anytime soon, does anyone know?

Верните мой 2008!!!

haha, i was just trying to explain that the song's not about exposing the gov't (youtube messes up how the comments are displayed sooo badly).

@drumboyrossinator Newmarket to be exact....which is near Toronto, but is, in fact, not Toronto.

well they were mention twice in rolling stones, so thats a good start...I hope the best for them

yeah it's the first time they do that

it's a small part of the music taht the guitarist plays but he plays perfectly ...it's perfect the solo(final riff)

I have the same question and i dont know what does Sting has to do with this question

@CoolCanadianGuy7 same here back in newmarket high

yah man i was born there in 85 when the population was what? 2000 people

Why didn't Dave get up and go shake their hands at the end?

expression dude expression

why did they remove tesselete on letterman from youtube

fuck that bass sounds good

Was that sarcasm, can't quite tell through the internet now can I?

dat beiber doo. hairstyles have came a long ways ay' canada

When did they fuck up re: Ready to win?

@scotttube from the garage in Newmarket, Toronto, Canada, Earth, Milky Way Galaxy, Universe to be even more exact.

💖🇵🇭✌️🤘👏👍

Just feel like I'm cheated for my money. I mean I just had to pay £10 for their 8 tracks (yes I bought 'A Lesson In Crime' in the end), compared to The Pigeon Detectives 'Wait For Me', 12 tracks (the average for an album) for only £7.95... HAVE THAT!!!

I don't believe in buying E.P's or B-Sides so till they get an album together, I'm not buying nothing BUT... when they do, trust me, I'll be first to buy it!
