This is the most dedicated music board trolling I've ever seen.

Designing an entire site and orchestrating a wave of indie fapping across the internet, all just to wind up a few bedwetters on DiS. Bravo.

I have to assume

that Manchester will be upgraded, I mean it's going to sell out in minutes. Or do they do these sort of things just to piss people off

  Just reformed for live shows after announcing a remaster of their only album.
  
  You should check them out and then maybe get a ticket for a show if you enjoy them.

Press release

THE POSTAL SERVICE ANNOUNCE FIRST HEADLINE SHOWS FOR 10 YEARS

UK DATES IN MAY, SHOWS IN LONDON AND MANCHESTER

TICKETS ON SALE NOW AT www.gigsandtours.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk

DELUXE 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF 'GIVE UP' INCLUDING TWO UNRELEASED SONGS RELEASED 8TH APRIL ON SUB POP

Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello a/k/a The Postal Service have added two UK dates to a worldwide jaunt which now appears to be a full-on reunion tour. With US dates confirmed around their Coachella appearances on 13th and 20th April, the two UK shows plus a night in Paris lead up to their performance at Barcelona's Primavera Sound 2013 festival. The band will then make their long awaited return to New York when they'll headline Brooklyn's Barclay Center in June.

Tickets for the newly announced dates are on sale now at www.gigsandtours.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk

Gibbard and Tamborello will be reuniting on the road with a band fleshed out by Jenny Lewis (Jenny & Johnny, Rilo Kiley) and Laura Burhenn (Mynabirds, Bright Eyes) to celebrate the 10th anniversary and deluxe edition reissue of The Postal Service's universally acclaimed release, 'Give Up'. The 'Give Up Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition' is out 8th April on Sub Pop includes the original 10-track album along with 15 bonus tracks. It also includes the brand new songs 'Turn Around' and 'A Tattered Line of String', a previously unreleased live recording, and every other official recording the band has ever released, as well as cover versions of Postal Service classics by The Shins and Iron & Wine.

Both the tour and 'Give Up Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition' find Lewis reuniting with The Postal Service: she appeared on the original album and played with the band on its handful of 2003 tour dates. Lewis also sings on the two new songs on the 'Give Up Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition'

Additional dates on this first Postal Service tour in a decade will be announced as they are confirmed. Check http://www.postalservicemusic.net/ for further details as they become available and to view the US dates.

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

- Had a brilliant time
  
  Crowd was great, Ben and Jenny seemed to be having a blast and got treated to a lovely re-work of Evan and Chan (and a rather odd Beat Happening cover). Admittedly, the beer and sense of nostalgia probably heightened my enjoyment.
  
  Downsides: not a word from Jimmy, the stifling heat and some of the electronic elements lacked clarity at times. Minor quibbles, though.

  - Brixton
    
    Was horrendous. Static crowd. Laptop man drowned everyone out. The fact that Jenny Lewis got the only cheers says it all. I love the album but that gig was car crash territory. DCFC guy total idiot and his attempt to play drums was pathetic. You couldn't hear any of it. Recycled air was probably the worst thing I've ever heard in 24 years of attending gigs. The set was riddled with covers and b-sides to fill it out - they should have played the lp and left after 45 mins

Brixton, May 19th

Did no one else think the sound tonight was fucking awful?!
I was in a group of four and wherever we stood in the venue, all of us agreed that the whole thing just sounded like a complete mess. The bass was way too loud and distorted, and the vocals were barely audible at all. It baffles me when sound guys never notice how shitty bands sound sometimes! I've been to Brixton Acad many times before and the sound has been crystal clear. I'm amazed to see positive comments on here. Someone confirm that my friends and I aren't crazy?! I'm not blaming this on the band performing badly, from what I could hear through the distorted mess, they put on a pretty good set. Very disappointed!
