Tokyo Police Club - "Champ Championship" Contest + tour dates

I am currently listening to TPC's sophomore LP, Champ, and it is absolutely fantastic. expect a review around the release date (8 June)

in support of their new record and tour, the Canadian band has the following to offer:

“Challenge us to something. Anything. Ping pong. Baking. Mario. Nerf guns. Hockey. Unicycling. Catching grapes in your mouth. You name it. When we come to your town on tour we'll make it happen. This summer, it's on.”

Fans can enter their ideas at TokyoPoliceClub.com Winners will have access to tickets, merchandise, etc. and the chance to hang with the guys while competing in whatever activity they submitted.
