The National

It took Brooklyn-based rockers The National five albums to finally make it to Japan... and then they went and postponed their tour following March 11. Hopefully this rescheduled show will be worth the wait. They've certainly got enough good songs to drawn on: 2010's High Violet ranked highly in the end-of-year 'best of' charts, but it's just one offering in a solid discography that stretches back to 2001.
