"Playing at The Capital Music Hall, Ottawa on Apr 08, 2011"

It says that RIGHT underneath the video, so whenever I watch this video, I'm reminded that I'm going to miss out on this awesome concert.

Stupid 19+ concerts! URGH.

[FromParisToParis]

@SH0RNZ

just the other week i bought tickets for that exact show :)

[SH0RNZ]

[Cr1msonAndRed]

"Playing at The Music Hall, London on Apr 02, 2011"

Fuck yes, i'm gonna be there. :D I can only hope this is played at the concert.

[SH0RNZ]

TPC represents Ontario in the best way possible!

[victortorres]

weird voice. works for some, but im not in that group.

[Xm3ndilloX]

I have the same maps & atlases shirt hah

[kimberleytheduke]

he has a lovely mouth.

[annabananacakes]

Not only did this watching this back a few years ago make me addicted to this song, but through this vid I was also introduced to Maps & Atlases. Awesome.

[valenceelectrons]

He told me that he didn't like this show that much because of the mic is autotuned. True story

[ChristinaLeigh7773]

ohhhhhh! i am hopelessly in love with that boy!

[asiwavehello]

@ChristinaLeigh7773

How's dating Paul Dzioba?

[ChristinaLeigh7773]

@asiwavehello uhhh... idk who that is...

[oliviour]

.....so nice. just really beautiful.

[webespecial]

anyone who disliked this video was really just complimenting it by saying that the song was so well arranged originally with the various band instruments, that one simple acoustic guitar could not surmount to the genius arrangement of the song.

[natuls16]

This is the video that made me fall in love with them, and everytime I watch it, I fall deeper. Love this band, and love this song. <3

[DeJANGOh]

it sort of sound likes it was autotuned at the start, wierd

[Rhubarb195]

When I listen this second time. I liked it ;)

[twilightswan4]

my favorite band, my favorite song, acoustic, oh my god.

[NatsukeChan]

Wow~

[LosersIncorporated]

I love his voice

[ambraxOo]

i have a friend who looks exactly like him, they carry their mouths the same and everything, but my friend has a horrible attitude though.. and they don't sound the same

[TheJackDoc]

@ambraxOo Cool story bro.

[KombinationKilla]

@ambraxOo i have a friend that looks like him too. he is gay tho. but hes cool!

[CaptainSlow77]

[DISCL0SE]

I've seen them three times so far. I'd see them every chance I get.

[pukymcp]

its kinda crazy , but its true... his voice is tuned to vagina....

[Nephrak]

@pukymcp rofl

[CBMBlog]

@pukymcp What Does that Even Mean?

[HeavyMetal771]

@pukymcp hater



[theinsanemusician]

@pukymcp his voice is definitely different. Im suspicious of digital altering...

[Byeron89]

@theinsanemusician nah

[realityismyreligion]

@pukymcp i don't think this phenomenon is female genitalia exclusive

[MosaicTelevison]

I love how he picks his nose at the end.

[TigerOfTheSea555]

[swifty09]

[janowano]

fucken love this song<3333

[AlvacanProductions]

i saw them on tour with weezer it was AWESOME

[B3N3DICTION]

Dude David Monks is legit, just because you don't like his voice doesn't mean you have to be a dick

[bloke856]

saw them with cold war kids AMAZING!!!

[scottyp256]

he's wearing a MAPS & ATLASES T SHIRT!!!!!!!!!

[martyrdomcausespanic]

Dave Monks has this incredible ability to take any of their songs--all of which are great as fast-paced indie rock songs--and turn them into gorgeous, heartwarming acoustic versions.  A lot of bands can't do that with any of their songs, but he can. Five stars, Mr. Monks. Five stars.

[klumsystarburst]

Dave Monks, will you marry me?

[GilmoreMel93]

i saw them live at the immergut festival<3 it was so awesome! :)

[KanzakiForever77]

Holy...... he is amazing.

[YoukaiDays]

You are just too cute, Dave.

[sticktec]

nose pick at the end :x

[acejojo]

Just saw them open for Passion Pit last night 1st show of the Tour was Epic!

[AugsWeidy13]

@acejojo June 21 for me! really that good though?

[acejojo]

@AugsWeidy13 cool yeah check out some of the vids on my page, but so far I heard the Baltimore show was the best Because the bands said the crowd was so hype..... but let me know how the show is on the 21.... have fun be safe!

[AnotherStupidHuman]

This is so beautiful! I'm pretty sure i like it even more than the normal version. And i think this song alone, played acoustically, just made me love Tokyo Police Club like 10 times more than i already did! :)

[intimatelyrearranged]

a maps and atlases shirt???

damn, i love that band :)

oh, and great job on CHAMP, tpc.

cool to hear the tpc sound evolve and still kick ass :D

[soxfan0408]

I'm seeing tokyo police club live in less than 2 weeks!! its cool he's wearing a maps and atlases shirt, another epic band!

[Rickyvantof]

His voice is awesome

[sweetnspicy17]

whats that thing he has across the sound hole and does it effect the sound any way??? im just starting guitar and want to know as much as possible

[zardrobot]

@sweetnspicy17 It's an acoustic guitar pick-up. It just allows him to be amplified.

[zardrobot]

I have been watching this clip everyday now for 2 weeks.

[escapelife911]

i love love love! this song <3

[omgEMILYlol]

omnomnom<3

he sounds even better acoustic.

[cottonmouthsournote]

is this standard tuning? just capo?

[aline411989]

This is a beautiful song and Dave is so handsome :D

[natuls16]

1. Canadian

2. Amazing Voice

3. Beautiful song.

what more can you ask for? :)

[katyofmontreal]

This song makes me so happeh! :D

[iamwherewolf]

I have just heard of this band after I saw this video, and the first thing I thought was "OMG he has Andrew McMahon's old hair back when he was in Something Corporate!!!"

[playkev36]

awesome acoustic

[roryesquire]

love it ... tokyo police club are f*cking awesome

[cararook]

Damn this song is SICK... also can appreciate that you can clearly hear the lyrics, So chill

[howcum4y]

[lovelylovelystarr]

You can download at the hype machine (hypem . com) if you search tessellate acoustic. The one Go to the one blog that it brings you to and save link as or whatever.

love this song.

[philsnk]

Very good. Too close to his face.

[violence436]

yeah i would love an MP3 of this anyone got one?

[delta3mo]

download?

[JonnLea]

this version is amazing :)

[5up3r5ucr3]

amazing live

[octoberman99]

he does sound a little sick. but this is amazng live

[allyam12]

thats what i thought when i first heard him live but thats just his voice/style or whatever

[BArcherC]

I have watched this song literally every day for the past month. It's just that good. When is there going to be an acoustic version of 'In A Cave?' PLEASE?!

[MrLolapolosa]

i like this version better than the original, plus i like more acustic versions better because you actually get to listen to the song in a new prospective

[por865]

If you think that sounds like auto tone then go listen to hurdy gurdy man. Some people can just sing like that.

[RosieFoxx]

LOVE it =D

x

[kellysonallison]

Actually he was sick when this was filmed. This is pretty good for a guy who had a cold!

[MrTpc1994]

haaaaaaaaaa, hee has maps and atlases shirt on. theyre badass
