If for some crazy reason you didn't watch Desperate Housewives last night, you missed Tokyo Police Club's prime time network television debut. The Canadian indie rock group has a friend who writes for ABC's Sunday night drama and namechecked the band in a script a few weeks back. Last night's episode featured TPC as Coldsplash, a hot local act competing against the men of Wisteria Lane in a Battle of the Bands. According to The Canadian Press, two band members shot speaking lines, but I think they got cut. (I can't be sure because I watched the episode in 4x fast forward.) (UPDATE: They weren't cut!) That article also has this quote from keyboard player Graham Wright: "I walked past Eva Longoria at one point but I didn't say hi. You know how it is, they probably had better things to do than talk to us." Aww. Anyway, here's Coldsplash performing "In A Cave" before Blue Odyssey literally burn the house down in a scene uncomfortably reminiscent of the 2003 Station nightclub fire. Yikes.
