Tokyo Police Club Pay a Visit to Wisteria Lane

November 17, 2008 5:07 PM ET

In case you were busy watching last night's TRL finale, you missed a strange collision of cultures over on ABC, as Canadian indie rockers Tokyo Police Club guested on Desperate Housewives. The plot of the episode centered around a "Battle of the Bands" night at a club somewhere close to Wisteria Lane. The TPC boys appeared as a group called Coldsplash but played one of their originals "In a Cave." Two of the band members even had lines in the episode. "I walked past Eva Longoria at one point but I didn't say hi," said keyboardist Graham Wright. "You know how it is, they probably had better things to do than talk to us."

“The Pretender”

Foo Fighters | 2007

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
