Two Door Cinema Club is a three-piece band out of Northern Ireland. Formed in 2007 when they were just 15, TDCC is Alex Trimbale (vocals, guitar), Sam Halliday (guitar, vocals), and Kevin Baird (bass, vocals). After their drummer's early departure, they decided to explore recording and performing without a drummer, instead opting to use a laptop to create electronic beats. They generated buzz and label interest by posting two songs on MySpace, eventually signing with Kitsune Music. They released their first album, Tourist History, in early 2010 in Europe. The album was officially released in the US on April 27, 2010 on Glassnote. 2010 was a very busy year for the band. They performed with Phoenix, Foals, Tokyo Police Club, and Delphic, and played at festivals all over the world, including T In the Park in Scotland, Reading and Leeds in England, and Splendour in the Grass in Australia. To top it all off, TDCC was nominated for Best New Act at the 2010 Q Awards in London and Tourist History was just named the number one album of 2010 by Nylon Magazine.
