The Postmarks at the World Cafe

Saturday afternoon, I made my way into the University City section of Philly and headed into the famed World Cafe to check out Florida based The Postmarks. The upstairs at World Cafe is just as it sounds, a cafe that serves food, has a bar, and a stage at the far end of the room. After arriving a few minutes after 4, I was greated with soothing music created by a five piece outfit (normally a 3 piece in the studio) comprised of lead guitar, synths, bass, drum kit, and lead by smooth, breathy vocals of Tim Yehezkely (don't let the name fool you, the singer is a she). Imagine a cross of the Innocence Mission instrumentation and the vocal and lyrical stylings of Mazzy Star. It was perfect music for a late afternoon meal or drink. It was a short, subdued show, not sure if that is the norm, if it was attributed to the large leg boot/brace on Tim's right leg, or the venue, but it was well worth spending the afternoon in the city.

Our friends in DC can check them out tonight at Black Cat.

Goodbye
Let Go
