Steve from Stranger Things – Post Animal
Born in Chicago, Illinois, this rock-psych band is not really well-known, but gaining some attention because one of the members, Joe Keery, stars in the Netflix show Stranger Things, playing Steve Harrington. The best way to describe their music, in my opinion, is what you would think of a late-night hook-up during the 70’s would sound like. Listen to “When I Get Home” to understand what I’m talking about.
Actors in Music
No matter what it is, when people pick a profession, they tend to try and master that skillset alone. Piano players master the piano, actors master acting, teachers master teaching,
etc...
When my friend announced that a band called Post Animal was going to be guest hosting at my college’s radio station WLUW, it was the way she announced it that
grabbed everyone’s
attention. She said “Yes, that is Steve from the Netflix show Stranger Things, and his band Post Animal will be guest hosting from noon-2pm!”
Not only because I am a Stranger Things addict, I thought this was super interesting because my mind started rolling about how everyone in America sees him as an actor, but who knew that he was also in a band and able to play and/or write music? Steve from Stranger Things sparked this month’s Sarah’s Thoughts by highlighting actors that are secretly, or not so secretly musicians as well.
