I had never heard of them before, but I\u2019ve now been told that they\u2019re very popular in Los Angeles, so I was apparently late to the party. These guys (there are actually five<\/em> of them\u2014go figure) are all very talented.<\/p>\n Before I discuss them, I first must laud the venue. I was thrilled to see that Genghis is still happening after all these years. Actually, maybe even more<\/em> so\u2014I never saw the music room so packed!<\/p>\n And, even though I didn\u2019t have time to eat dinner there that night, I can attest to the fact that the restaurant food still smells<\/em> exactly the same as it has from Day 1, which is comforting; I\u2019ve always loved their fare!!! And here\u2019s some more great news\u2014you can eat in the music club while you watch the show! I<\/em>\u00a0can\u2019t enjoy two things at once, but I was really tempted by the dinners of several of the music lovers that night, (especially when I smelled the famous fried rice!)<\/p>\n Part of the colorful overhead decorations in the music room of Genghis Cohen.

They even have no-nonsense free parking right on premises, which is such a bonus in LA. And then it\u2019s just a few steps to the entrance, and the club is right inside the door! As my former show business career manager used to say when something was so effortless: Bing, bang, boom; you\u2019re there.<\/p>\n Now to the performance that night by The Four Postmen. Their music is really lively. And what a gargantuan repertoire they have! I had heard that their set was going to be an hour and a quarter, but, besieged to do so by their eager fans, they wound-up playing for two whole hours! And I have a feeling they could have gone even longer! (Well, they have<\/em> been working together for almost thirty years, so it\u2019s understandable.)<\/p>\n Speaking of the crowd, there was not one empty seat, which I had never seen at Genghis before. My friend explained that these guys have quite the following.<\/p>\n Though the quintet is made up of all accomplished musicians, I can\u2019t tell you what their genre is. They write all their own songs, which are designed to amuse, so I guess it\u2019s sort-of comedic folkish soft rock. (Is that a thing? Or did I just coin it?!) I have nothing to compare this style to because it\u2019s not my kind of music at all, but I really did enjoy them. I even found myself bopping-out to a few of their tunes. [Note: In case you\u2019re curious, my tastes go from Bruno Mars to James Bey to Adam Lambert to hip-hop to Broadway tunes, so you can see, I am<\/em> eclectic; I\u2019m just not into folk and rock.]<\/p>\n<\/a>
