THE POSTELLES SUPPORT THE KOOKS ON NORTH AMERICAN TOUR, LAUNCHING TONIGHT WITH SOLD-OUT SHOW AT PHILADELPHIA'S TROCADERO

PERFORMING ON KCRW MORNING BECOMES ECLECTIC ON DECEMBER 6th

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.

Yesterday NYLON hosted the world premiere of the acoustic version of The Postelles' "White Night." Lead singer Daniel Balk's clear, retro-inspired vocals takes center stage here, on this lo-fi version of one of their most popular songs.

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.
