Tokyo Police Club at Bonnaroo 2010 Festival

The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival 2010 lineup is now out and Tokyo Police Club is one of them.

Tokyo Police Club is a Canadian indie rock band from Newmarket, Ontario. The band has singer and bassist  Dave Monks, keyboardist Graham Wright, guitarist Josh Hook, and drummer Greg Alsop.

Tokyo Police Club was formed in 2005 while playing for fun in a basement after the four had disbanded from a previous group called Suburbia. The band started to gain attention and played some small shows throughout the Toronto area.

With a buzz forming in Montreal, where the band stayed together in a single McGill University dorm room, Tokyo Police Club was asked to play in the city’s Pop Montreal festival, and soon after they signed with Toronto label Paper Bag Records.

Since their formation the band has appeared in numerous festivals. Notably, in 2006 they appeared at Edgefest  and the inaugural Osheaga Festival.

In 2007, they performed at the Coachella music festival in Indio, California, at Lollapalooza  in Chicago, at Bumbershoot in Seattle, at Glastonbury Festival and Reading and Leeds Festival in England, in 2008 at Roskilde Festival in Denmark and at Rock am Ring-Festival in Germany, and Street Scene in San Diego.

In the fall of 2008, Tokyo Police Club played on the last 6 weeks of Weezer’s Troublemaker Tour along with Angels and Airwaves.
