The Thousands

One time in Nashville when Tokyo Police Club drummer, Greg Alsop fell ill, touring mates Delta Spirit and Cold War Kids jumped on stage to help the remaining TPC members out. The impromptu beer bottle jam session that followed was something to tell the grandkids about, and its wildness shall never be repeated. With the exception, perhaps, of Tuesday night. The indie four piece are in town to play their debut full-length album Elephant Shell, supported by Brisbane up-and-comers Yves Klein Blue. Now, we don’t like to make promises we can’t keep, but the Cold War Kids are also around, and Greg Alsop hasn’t been seen without a tissue-box handy of late. The maths does itself: fun will be had, beer bottles will be played. – JB
