Tokyo Police Club formed in 2005 in the wake of the breakup of their previous band. That summer they began performing live and later that fall they played the Montreal Pop Festival.

In 2006 the band signed with Paperbag Records and started working on their debut EP, "A Lesson in Crime". Later that fall, their EP was re-released with wider distribution and in 2008 Tokyo Police Club released their full-length debut, "Elephant Shell".

Songs performed: "Tessellate," "Juno," and
"Your English Is Good."
