The Four Postmen is a Los Angeles–based rock group that consists of five band members. Featuring electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards, drums, bass, and an emphasis on three-part vocal harmony, their live show is highly energetic and theatrical, complete with non-stop comic banter between songs. Sometimes compared to Barenaked Ladies,GQ Magazine prefers to call them, "The Seinfeldesque Monkees."

They formed in 1992 and in 1996 were signed to a development deal with NBC Studios to create a TV show based on their group. The band has performed on NBC's Friday Night Videos, Fox's Futurama, MTV's Undressed, and has composed original music for NBC's Thrillogy Series as well as several independent feature films. They have four full-length albums: U.S. Male (1993), Looking For Grandpa (1997), Hit Record (2001), and What The Hell Happened (2004).

On November 6, 2007, The Four Postmen headlined a fundraiser for Reading to Kids at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica.

How did Ken become Postman #1? Because he's the best, right? He's the top-dog, big banana, numero uno! Or is it because he's the smallest? He's really not small. He's 5'10 and a half! That's almost 5'11 which is almost 6 feet. And that's tall. Ken's mother was born in Belgium. His father was born in the Bronx. Ken was conceived in Louisville, Kentucky but born in Los Angeles, California. When Ken was a boy, his parents took him to see folk music concerts. When he was a teenager he saw Black Sabbath and AC/DC. When he was an adult he saw a porno. Any more questions? His rock 'n' roll guitar heroes range from Eddie Van Halen and Angus Young to Larry Carlton and Eric Clapton. Ken writes adult-themed comedy songs and you'll see him doing solo gigs at comedy clubs and brothels.
