Everybody and their mom wants another Postal Service album to spring out of the heads of knob twirlers Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello. The 2003 sleeper hit Give Up jumpstarted the careers of Ben's DCFC, and Tamborello's DNTEL, and, after touring behind the album, both artists have been focusing on their primary objectives. Despite strong demand and speculation, it appears that, unfortunately, new material from The Postal Service just won't be in the cards anytime soon, says Ben.
I remember the night that they played in Boston. It was April 20th, 2003. I drove up from Providence, with a friend of mine. We knew that one of three things could have happened that night.
#1 We were gonna drive up there, and we were gonna score White Stripes tickets for their show at the Avalon. It was sold out, but wtf. We'd try. Well, we tried.
#2 The Postal Service were playing in Cambridge. We'd go and check that out, and see if we could get in. Um, that didn't happen either. They were at capacity and it just wasn't gonna happen.
#3 "Fuck it, dude. Lets go to the bar." I think we ended up at the Silhouette that night. Drinking the cheapest beer we could get our hands on and trying to stay just on the fringe of trouble.
Well, let's raise a toast to never seeing Postal Service live. (cheers). Here's the next best thing. A SBD of their show in Minneapolis around the same time. Enjoy, you freeks.
