Tokyo Police Club, Paradise Rock Club
Gump with the new frame
The Charles
Caught Tokyo Police Club and Smoosh with Nick, newest blog roll member Joe and Trish. Though TPC commendably contributed to my worsening tinnitus, the real focus of our attention was the born-post-1990 sounds of Smoosh. They covered This Modern Love by Bloc Party, which I'm pretty sure is about being high on cocaine. Even if it isn't, other Bloc Party songs are, and ultimately that makes the Smoosh rendition uncomfortable to listen to. But what the hell, they could play, even if I sensed that some overbearing parents in the wings were to blame.
Tokyo Police Club got me thinking... what other notable musical entities were comprised solely of the membership of exclusive clubs?
New Young Pony Club - a vibrant British dance/rock band
Culture Club - English new romantic pop group in the 1980s (thanks, WP)
Mickey Mouse Club - no link or explanation needed
Club music - everyone knows what it is, but no one can concisely describe it
Sam's Club - where one can buy Celine Dion records retail or in bulk
Buena Vista Social Club - the only club I've ever really wanted to be a member of
