Tokyo Police Club at the Paradise

Tokyo Police Club have played in Boston five times in the past two years, which is no small thing if you consider that they’re coming down from Canada. Nonetheless, they are about to push that number to six when they hit the stage tomorrow night at The Paradise. The young four-piece will no doubt be playing loads of material from their debut full length, Elephant Shell, which was released yesterday on Saddle Creek.

To get you excited for what we know will be another excellent show, here’s the lead-off track from their first Boston show at Great Scott back in 2006.

The Constantines at TT’s

Canadian art-punk group, The Constantines will treat somewhere on the order of 300 Bostonians to their unique amalgam of Fugazi and Springsteen this Friday at TT the Bear’s Place. They’ll be drumming up support for their forthcoming album, Kensington Heights, which is due on Arts and Crafts tomorrow in Canada and two weeks later in America. Kensington Heights is their fourth album since their 2001 self-titled debut and their first for Arts and Crafts.
