TDCC is a Northern Irish
indie rock* and electropop music band. They are from Bangor (a city near
Belfast). The singer is Alex Trimble, the guitarists are Kevin Baird and Sam
Halliday. They started to sing together in high scool, in 2007.
The band's name was
taken from Halliday's mispronunciation of the name of the local cinema
"Tudor Cinema" in Belfast.
Up to now, they have
released 2 albums: "Beacon" (2012) and "Tourist history"
(2010).
I like this front
cover, I think it is original, funny and a bit strange.
This one is really
surprising too.
Some of their songs are
international hits, as "Sun" or "What you know", which is
particularly famous in France because it is the main theme of the "Française
des Jeux" advertisement:
Listen
to this full song!!
Their lyrics are not
really serious, they talk about love and everyday life.
They say that they are
inspired by Canadian bands, like Stars or Broken Social Scene which is an indie
rock group.
In July 2012, Trimble participated in the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, singing "Caliban's
Dream",
a song written by Rick Smith, from Underworld (english band of the 90s).

I love this band
because their songs are dynamic and invigorate me!
This is Alex Trimble,
the singer. Don't you think he looks like Tintin ?
*Indie means independent: non-commercial rock, breaking the
mainstreams.

Where was this band
created ?

members come from ?
