POST are a band we’ve been following for a while and having heard their contribution to the Mao Disney compilation from label We Can Still Picnic and a great session on 6music’s Marc Riley show, it’s good to be able to mention the launch of their debut album at Nice n Sleazy’s on Friday April 26th. Looking forward to this.
From the ashes of the great lamented Glasgow band Bricolage, guitarist Graham Wann has put together the equally vibrant and dynamic new outfit POST. The band have been keeping things low-key playing their own sporadic club nights so it’s a surprise when I see they are due to appear at the CCA hosted by the brilliant We Can Still Picnic collective who are tonight kicking off a series of events to promote their compilation album Mao Disney.
So low-key are the band that this is only the second time in a year that I’ve been able to catch them, however I suspect that’s about to change with their second single Monument to a Lost Cause getting regular airplay on both Steve Lamacq and Marc Riley’s 6music shows. Indeed they showcase this great track tonight. It’s too easy to pigeonhole the band with the usual Glasgow/post punk influences but their dream-pop-boogie is infectious and from what I can gather they’re just about to start recording their debut album – a monument to a great cause.
