Pitchfork

This year has been an impressive one for the gents of Tokyo Police Club, what with the release of their debut LP Elephant Shell, lotsa big-time touring (including a stint with Weezer), and their recent Wisteria Lane residency as seen on "Desperate Housewives" (scope the clip here).

The Ontario outfit will cap the year as part of the "Jingle Bell Rock" tour of Canada, and get into the swing of 2009 early with a pretty expansive late winter tour of the States. TPC will also hit up CBS on Wednesday (December 10) for an apperance on "The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson".

Once the live stuff wraps, they'll split their time between crafting the follow-up to Elephant Shell and raiding the TiVo for the next program to plunder. May we suggest...
