Neither snow, nor sleet, nor hail can stop the weather-obsessed hazemakers of the Postmarks from stamping across the U.S. on a brief but beauteous August tour. They've got a few scattered dates along the way-- including July 19's indie pop hurricane alongside Starlight Mints and the Ladybug Transistor-- but the real action kicks off August 1 in the ATL.

The Postmarks also had a chance to film a scene for an upcoming Nickelodeon childrens' program entitled "Yo Gabba Gabba!". According to the band (as quoted in a press release), the tune, entitled "Balloons", was performed on "this fabulous 60s style tiered stage filled with hundreds and hundreds of balloons." "Yo Gabba Gabba!", which premieres in the fall, is hosted by DJ Lance Rock and features "friendly toy monsters in a magical land full of music, dance, colorful cartoons, and simple life lessons." In other words, it's a show about college.
