THE POSTAL SERVICE Confirm New Dates Due to Popular Demand

With over a dozen shows and counting already sold out-including the Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA and New York's Barclays Center Arena where second dates have been added by popular demand-The Postal Service has announced another series of additions to the tour commemorating the April 9 release of its Give Up (Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition) on Sub Pop.

The new dates on The Postal Service's first headline tour in decade include stops in Austin TX, Pomona CA, Kansas City MO, at St. Paul MN, as well as an appearance at the Free Press Fest in Houston TX. Dates that have already completely sold out--in addition to the aforementioned first nights in New York and Berkeley--now include London, Manchester, Reno NV, Davis CA, San Luis Obispo CA, Boise ID, Orlando FL, Las Vegas, Detroit and more on the way.

The Postal Service 10th anniversary tour will reunite Postal Service principals Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello with Jenny Lewis (Jenny & Johnny, Rilo Kiley), who appeared on the original album and played with the band on its 2003 dates. Lewis also sings on the two new songs on Give Up (Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition). Laura Burhenn (Mynabirds, Bright Eyes) rounds out the 2013 touring lineup.

Meanwhile, rare Postal Service audition footage dating back to 2002 has been unearthed and can finally be viewed at www.funnyordie.com. The never before seen tryouts include a genre-defying group of hopefuls ranging from Duff McKagan of Guns N Roses and Nate Mendel of Foo Fighters to Moby, Aimee Mann and others all vying for a the coveted Postal Service lead singer gig--and each doing his or her level best not to choke in the presence of Tamborello and Sub Pop A&R.

The Postal Service and Sub Pop Records' pre-order for Give Up (Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition) is live now, with configurations including a limited 3-LP edition on red, clear and white vinyl available through subpop.com and postalservicemusic.net. All pre-orders will immediately receive a download of the previously unreleased single "A Tattered Line of String."

Give Up was certified platinum last year just shy of 10 years from its original February 9, 2003 release. Led by the single "Such Great Heights," the landmark album is, after Nirvana's Bleach, the second-biggest selling album in Sub Pop's nearly 25-year history.
