Watch Postal Service Perform “We Will Become Silhouettes”–Playing Tonight in San Luis Obispo
One-album wonders (so far), Postal Service have reunited to tour behind the 10th Anniversary reissuance of that only album Give Up. Check out the band (Death Cab’s Ben Gibbard and Santa Barbara-grown Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel, along with Laura Burhenn of Mynabirds and the phenomenal Jenny Lewis-who sang on the first album) below performing We Will Become Silhouettes at their first show back at the Grand Sierra Theatre in Reno (via Pitchfork). This tour marks the first time the band has performed live since 2003.
They played in Napa on Wednesday and play the Madonna Expo in San Luis Obispo tonight (we’ll be there to cover) and Coachella tomorrow night. The video below features a cool light show, a fan screaming for Tamborello, Gibbard ably drumming (at 3:06) while sitting and standing, and Jenny Lewis adding her usual sweet vocals. The identical set list from the first two shows of the tour follows the video. We’ve waited ten years…. Let’s go!
