When the Nov. 16 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) episode of “Desperate Housewives” airs and the local Battle of the Bands kicks off, scores of music fans will undoubtedly recognize entrants Cold Splash as none other than Tokyo Police Club. The band will perform “In A Cave” from its acclaimed debut full length Elephant Shell in a competition held at the White Horse rock club near Wisteria Lane.
In addition to TPC’s performance, fans can look forward to band members’ having actual lines in the episode, as well as subtle clues to the true identity of Cold Splash including flyers on the club walls for bands named “Shoulders And Arms” and “Cut Cut Paste.”
Having completed an extensive world headlining tour and, more recently, a nationwide run supporting Weezer, Tokyo Police Club will return to the road for a tour of the band’s native Canada beginning Dec. 13 in Toronto.
