Other than producing some of the world’s best hockey players and maple syrup, Canada can spawn some pretty great bands as well. Case in point, Tokyo Police Club. The band consists of singer/bassist Dave Monks, keyboardist Graham Wright, guitarist Josh Hook, and drummer Greg Alsop. The Newmarket, Ontario natives came together to form TPC in 2005 after disbanding from a previous group called "Suburbia." Not soon after playing Toronto’s "Pop Montreal Festival," the band was offered a recording contract by Toronto-based label Paper Bag Records. Since then, the young band has racked up quite a respective resume; appearing on The Late Show With David Letterman three separate times; worked the festival circuit on shows such as Coachella, Lollapolooza, Rock Am Ring, the Read And Leeds festival; as well as played a nation-wide arena tour with Weezer and Angels & Airwaves. The band has kept their momentum by recently releasing their second full-length album Champ on June 8th, 2010. Be sure to catch them performing at Metro on Friday, August 20th along with Freelance Whales and Arkells. Tickets are $18 advance, $20 day of show. The show is 18 & over and starts at 9pm.

TOM TOM CLUB
CARAVAN OF THIEVES

Tickets: $21 adv.

Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm
After listening to Tom Tom Club for the first time, you might find yourself with a lingering sense of familiarity. Perhaps it’s not the sound that you can identify, but maybe you’ll flip through your albums in search of what exactly you recognize about Tom Tom Club. This familiarity may arise because the founding members, Tina Weymonth and Chris Frantz, were both members of the well-known rock band Talking Heads. When Talking Heads went on hiatus in 1980, the pair began Tom Tom Club as a side project. The group’s biggest hits, "Wordy Rappinghood" and "Genius of Love," came from their self-titled album. Primarily characterized as new wave and funk, the group has seen a wide breadth of musicians take part in the creation of its music, including the Velvet Underground'’s Lou Reed, singer of Talking Heads David Byrne, Jamaican singer Mystic Bowie, and even Weymonth and Frantz's son, Kid Ginseng. Each musician has brought a unique characteristic to the group's overall dynamic yet has also posed Tom Tom Club as a timeless group still been able to attract fans even as they approach their 30th year in existence. Though they haven’t toured very consistently during the past few years, Tom Tom Club will be making a stop at Metro on September 28th and will be joined by Caravan of Thieves and Tony Castles. Tickets are $21 advance, $25 day of show. The show is 18 & over and starts at 8pm.

GAYNGS
featuring Ryan Olson, Justin Vernon & Mike Noyce (Bon Iver), Zak Coulter & Adam Hurlburt (Solid Gold), Michael Lewis (Happy Apple/Andrew Bird)

Tickets: $19 adv.

Many bands consist of one vocalist, one bass player, one drummer, and one (or two if you’re edgy) guitar players. Most stick to this formula and play on. Gayngs, however, has not been known to follow what's "in." In fact, they walk all over this traditional setup. Then they rip it to pieces and set it on fire, just for good measure. Gayngs is an indie rock collaboration featuring members of Bon Iver, Solid Ground, Rhymesayers, Andrew Bird's band, the Rosebuds, and many more, coming to a grand total of 23 members. Not only is their number unique; each artist comes from a different background and adds a different element to the group, from soft rock to straight up rap. But how are they live, you ask? During their first show in Minneapolis in May 2010, all 23 members of the band participated in a sold out, "Last Prom on Earth" themed performance, which featured a balloon drop, cheesy bowties, 80's cover songs, and even an appearance by Prince. Yes, the Prince. In late September and early October, the group will complete a series of ten tour dates, gracing the stage at Metro and ending at the Austin City Limits Festival. This one-of-a-kind performance is a must see, so buy your tickets early and get ready for a great show. Gayngs will perform at Metro on September 30th. Tickets are on sale now for $19 advance, $21 day of show. The show is 18 & over and starts at 9pm.
