NewsTokyo Police Club Prepare For First Headlining TourFresh off dates supporting the Cold War Kids, Tokyo Police Club prepare for a headlining US tour. But first, the energetic foursome from Canada will grace the stages of the Coachella Music Festival and Sasquatch before officially launching the headlining dates July 16 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "We're all really excited to visit new cities that we've never been to and to headline cities that we've only been to as openers," says TPC vocalist/bassist Dave Monks. "It's also going to be a great opportunity to try out some of our new material." With just their A Lesson In Crime debut EP out now on Paper Bag, a full-length album is on its way, though no confirmed date has been set.

The group -- currently out of contract after splitting last summer with Warner Music -- has made its new, self-financed album, "Secrets of the Witching Hour," available to download for free from its official Web site. From June 4, a CD version will be offered for sale on a mail-order basis, details of which are posted at the site. The band members hope the free offering will generate exposure and, in turn, boost revenue streams from live performances and merchandise sales. "It's a one-off for us," manager Stephen Taverner of Out There Management tells Billboard.com. "They knew they couldn't compete in the traditional way, so why not give it away, and try to gain more exposure that way? Its not a two-fingers up to the music industry at all -- far from it." By mid-afternoon, the album had been downloaded more than 5,000 times since going live late last night. Taverner adds, "We all recognize the fact that we needed a record company involved on a global level. If we can get the fanbase up significantly, maybe someone would be interested in doing a partnership with the band." Warner Bros. U.S. signed and released the Crimea's debut album "Tragedy Rocks" (2004), which has shifted about 35,000 copies worldwide, says Taverner. The band is preparing for a series of shows in China this month May, before returning to the U.K. for a four-week tour starting May 18. |
