Postcards is an alternative Lebanese indie folk band. The band was formed in Lebanon in 2012, and takes its name from the band Beirut's album Postcards from Italy.[1] Incidentally, Postcards supported Beirut during their performance at the Byblos International Festival in 2014.[2]

History

The band was formed in 2012 in Lebanon when Marwan and Pascal met Julia.[3] They started jamming, playing covers and writing original material, and eventually were joined by Rany.[4] So far the band has released one EP, Lakehouse, which was described by one reviewer as "down-to-earth, gentle, yet packed with energy".[5]

Within a year of forming, they had opened for international acts such as Swedish indie rock band The Royal Concept and American indie folk giants Beirut. Besides touring extensively in Lebanon, they have also performed regularly in the UK, including Wilderness Festival.[6]

The band is managed by Beirut Jam Sessions,[7] pioneers of the alternative music scene in the country.
