The Four Postmen are an American rock band from Los Angeles, consisting of Ken Weiler (electric guitar, vocals), Matt Kaminsky (vocals, keyboards), Stefan Marks (acoustic guitar, vocals), Geoff Dunbar (drums), and Brett Pearsons (bass guitar).
History
The Four Postmen formed in 1992, and in 1996 signed a development deal with NBC Studios to create a TV show based on their group. The band has performed on NBC's Friday Night Videos, Fox's Futurama, MTV's Undressed, and has composed original music for NBC's Thrillogy Series as well as several independent feature films. They wrote original music for the feature film The Sky is Falling, and all band members were cast in the movie. They have released four full-length albums: U.S. Male (1993), Looking For Grandpa (1997), Hit Record (2001), and What The Hell Happened (2004).
On November 6, 2007, The Four Postmen headlined a fundraiser for Reading to Kids at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica.[1]
Style
Featuring an emphasis on three-part vocal harmony, their live shows are highly theatrical, and feature numerous comic interludes. The band are sometimes compared to Barenaked Ladies,[2] and have been described by GQ Magazine as "The Seinfeldesque Monkees".[3]
