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, Looking For Grandpa, Hit Record, and What The Hell Happened. On November 6, 2007, The Four Postmen headlined a fundraiser for Reading to Kids at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica.

Stefan Marks - "Postman #3" - Vocals/Acoustic Guitar
Not Steven or Stephan or Stephen or anything with a "PH". It's S-T-E-F-A-N. "F". It's not pronounced "Ste-FAWN". It's pronounced "Steffin". It's not spelled S-t-e-f-f-i-n, but it is pronounced that way. His "real" job is voice-over work for television and radio commercials, CD ROM games and the occasional animation gig. In his "free" time he writes and directs plays. His long-term goal is to write and direct films. Musical influences: Uh... talk radio?
