The Postelles have been picked to support fellow New Yorker’s Interpol on a string of east coast dates starting July 24th in New Haven, CT through August 6th at Clifton Park, NY. Before hitting the road with Interpol, they will play a gig with rock superstars Kings of Leon on July 23rd in St. Louis, MO at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. In addition, the NYC quartet will headline NYC’s Bowery Ballroom on July 28th and the DC Nine in Washington DC on September 18th (full schedule below). Their self-titled debut is set for release on Oct. 12th. The 11-song album was co-produced by The Postelles and the The Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr.

“The opportunity to open for Interpol is like a dream come true for any rock band from New York,” said frontman Daniel Balk. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be playing with them, and with Kings of Leon, two bands that we’re huge fans of!”

The Postelles have been feverishly working towards the release of their first album and refining their sound by playing everywhere from small clubs to major festivals around the globe, garnering attention from fans and critics each step of the way.

In March the Postelles released a brand new EP White Night with three new songs, “White Night,” “Sleep on the Dance Floor,” and “Looking Glass,” and an exclusive remix of “Sleep on the Dance Floor” by Grissly Bear’s Chris Taylor. The band is offering the single as a free download on their website www.thepostelles.com.

The Postelles recently played their second Bonnarroo, adding to their list of festival appearances which includes Lollapalooza, All Points West, Iceland Airwaves, SXSW and CMJ. NPR is streaming their 2010 Bonnaroo set at: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127407202.
