Radio Happy Hour is a live variety show featuring an old-time radio comedy/drama and your favorite guest stars from the worlds of film, music, and letters. Hosted by Sam Osterhout, the show engages its guests in a wildly right-angled conversation that careens between interviews, performances, and trivia. And at the center of it all is a short, old time radio comedy in which the guest stars as him or herself or, in some cases, as Nancy Drew. Audiences will see all of this--the interviews, the corny jokes, the guest performances, and the behind-the-scenes making of a radio drama--live every month, and podcasted online as well. Trust us, it will make more sense when you see it.

Drinking in the afternoon. Radio Drama. Cheap tickets to a show where you can make chit chat with your favorite celebrities. It’s like the depression, but funnier.

You can download past episodes of Radio Happy for free at iTunes or at RadioHappyHour.com.

Weaned on a healthy diet of equal parts sweet Motown sound and New York's grit and grime, The Postelles are next in line to a long tradition of great pop music. At once sweetly constructed and achingly raw, their songs give voice to the modern reality of frenetic city life.

The Postelles met in high school on NYC’s Upper West Side and have spent the last few years perfecting their hopelessly catchy rock grooves together. Citing influences from Motown to Woody Allen, they provide a modern take to the soundtrack of a 1950’s prom with a New York edge. According to Rolling Stone, “The Postelles channel Joe Jackson and Elvis Costello and – more recently – the Arctic Monkeys and the Strokes, building songs from brief guitar stabs and sounding like the wound-up early hours of what will be a long Saturday night on the town. There are elements of both mod and post-punk, but The Postelles have a sneering attitude all their own…” Entertainment Weekly describe the Postelles as having a “Sunny garage-bop sound,” while Spin has said, “they serve up a hooked-at-the-gills, head-bobbing rock’n'roll groove.”

The quartet has played major festivals including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, SXSW, All Points West, Iceland’s Airwaves Festival and CMJ. The band has begun to attract considerable excitement and attention also playing shows in New York, London, Paris and Canada where they have opened for the likes of Vampire Weekend, The Cold War Kids, Yeasayer and Fanfarlo to name a few. Spin.com has called their live set "pitch perfect." This summer will see the band playing leading festivals such as Bonnaroo in support of their "White Night EP" produced by Strokes guitarist and solo act Albert Hammnod Jr. due out on Astralwerks/Capitol Records on March 2nd, 2010

Singer/songwriter David Dondero's musical career began in 1993, when he released the first of three records as a member of the alt-rock band Sunbrain. But since he split the band and headed out on his own, his music has been more comparable to such American folk music/troubadour greats as Woody Guthrie and Townes Van Zandt. The year 2001 saw the release of his solo effort Shooting at the Sun With a Water Gun, an album in which Dondero assumes the role of different characters for nearly each song (while some were biographical, such as "Analysis of a 1970's Divorce," which recounts his parents' split). The album was produced by Billy Konkel, and was recorded in Konkel's living room. In 2003 he released Transient, his second full-length for Future Farmer records, and the next year the album Live at the Hemlock, taken from a February 2003 performance in San Francisco, came out. In 2005 the singer moved to Team Love, the label run by Brighteyes' Conor Oberst -- who lists Dondero as an influence -- and Sound of the South was issued later that year. In 2007 Simple Love was released, followed by a tour opening for recent rock crictics' darlings Against Me!.
