The Postelles are a quartet of college-age Upper West Siders who play feel-good garage rock steeped in sixties-era pop and soul. Lead singer and guitarist Daniel Balk, lead guitarist David Dargahi, bassist John Speyer, and drummer Billy Cadden will be celebrating the release of their eponymous debut CD (Astralwerks, October 12) with a free three-week residency at Bowery Electic, teaming up with Dinosaur Bones on Oct. 6, the Ambassadors and Jangula on Oct. 13, and the Rassle and Xylo on Oct. 20, the last one a CMJ showcase. On the new disc, Balk sings with a reggae lilt on such tunes as “White Night,” the record’s first single, and intones romantic teen angst on such tracks as “Stella,” “Hey Little Sister,” and “Blue Room.” You won’t be able to stand still to such songs as “1 2 3 Stop,” “Sleep on the Dance Floor,” and, well, “Can’t Stand Still.” Each night, the Postelles are scheduled to go on at 10:00. Oh, and did we say that the shows are free?
