Posse were an American indie rock band from Seattle, Washington. They were made up of Paul Wittman-Todd (guitar/vocals), Sacha Maxim (guitar, bass, vocals) and Jon Salzman (drums)[1][2] Their 2014 album Soft Opening received a 7.9 from Pitchfork.[3]

History

The band formed in 2010 after Paul met Sacha at a local lesbian bar. After bonding over music they added Jon on drums who used to play in one of Sacha's previous bands.[4] The band continue to work their day jobs whilst making music and touring with Sacha Maxim working as a graphic designer at Microsoft, Paul Wittmann-Todd, working as an electrical engineer at Fluke Corp, which makes industrial testing equipment and Jon Salzman working with children affected by autism.[5]

In November 2017 the band released their final album before parting ways. In a review on Pitchfork, it was described as a 'Great parting gift'.[6]
