ACOUSTIC VERSION OF THE POSTELLES'
"WHITE NIGHT" PREMIERES AT NYLON
The Postelles are supporting The Kooks on the first
leg of the U.K. band's North American tour, beginning with tonight's sold-out
show at The Trocadero in Philadelphia and including two sold-out nights at
Webster Hall in New York City (11/16, 17). The Postelles were recently
the main supporting act on The Wombats' entire U.S. tour. The band, which
performed at Atlanta's Music Midtown Festival (with Coldplay, The Black Keys)
and Dave Matthews Band Caravan's stop at New York City's Randall's Island, will
also be playing a pair of headline shows before the end of the year. See below
for itinerary.
The Postelles are excited to announce that they will be
performing on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic on December 6th,
before their headlining show in Los Angeles at The Bootleg Theater.
In a recent live review, the LA Weekly observed:
"[The Postelles] delivered a high-energy, highly-danceable set...laying on
the hooks and melodies thick and with unquestionable confidence" while Flavorpill
praised their "killer live show" and Vanity Fair urged:
"everyone go see them on tour."
Numerous tracks have already been licensed from The
Postelles' self-titled debut album, which was produced by the band and The
Strokes' Albert Hammond, Jr. "Sound The Alarms" was heard in
this fall's season premiere of ABC's "Revenge" and has also been
tapped for EA Sport's new Need For Speed The Run video game, which was
just released. "White Night" was used in Fox's "Raising
Hope" and the CW's "Vampire Diaries" and "90210" while
lead single "123 Stop" was heard in the trailer for the film
How Do You Know, which starred Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson
and Jack Nicholson.
"Songs like 'Stella' and '123 Stop' are high-energy
power pop," said Relix while the New York Post put "Boy's
Best Friend" on its list of summer "songs that sizzle." "The
Postelles sound like the wound-up early hours of what will be a long Saturday
night on the town," observed Rolling Stone. "There are
elements of both mod and punk, but The Postelles have a sneering attitude all
their own." New York Daily News recently heralded them as on of the
"Fifteen Best Bands to see at CMJ," while SPINpraised their
"hooked-at-the-gills, head-bobbing rock'n'roll groove."
The Postelles' followed the June release of their
full-length album with Summer Undercovers in July, available for
download at www.thepostelles.com. The free digital EP featured covers
of The Smith's "Ask," Joe Jones' "California Sun,"
Wreckless Eric's "Whole Wide World" and The Ramones' "Beat on
The Brat."
Formed in high school, The Postelles - comprising
Daniel Balk (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), David Dargahi (vocals/lead guitar),
John Speyer (bass) and Billy Cadden (percussion) - began playing shows around
Manhattan when they were high school seniors. On the strength of their White
Night EP, also co-produced by Albert Hammond, Jr., they toured with Kings
of Leon, Vampire Weekend, Interpol, The Kills, The Wombats and Free Energy.
They've played such major festivals such as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo (twice), All
Points West and Iceland Airwaves, performed at The Who Tribute Concert at New
York City's Carnegie Hall and recently supported the legendary Chuck Berry.
