The Hold Steady are a really great band. It took me a while to realize that for some reason, longer than it took Bruce Springsteen , anyways. Some time last year when Stay Positive was released something clicked between me and the Hold Steady; something genuine and great which rock and roll music doesn't make me feel very often anymore. To be sure, The Hold Steady are an American Rock and ...

I know there was a party at Studio B, but for me The Hold Steady kicked off what seems to be a great festival. Very well run, lots of free drinks, plenty of bands to see, people to watch, and scenes to enjoy. What's not to like? Every day is jam packed from larger shows [...]

It's a widely held, if not universal, belief that a live show doesn't translate all that well as a recording. Sure, it's evocative - the popularity of bootleg tapes, CDs and downloads as well as it being practically compulsory to bring out a live album or concert film at some point in a rock band's career is a clear indicator that to a certain extent it at least works, if only as a way of keepi...

You can't tell me Hold Steady singer Craig Finn doesn't like his "job." Being witness to hundreds of concerts over the past 15 years (or so), I've seen very few performers who had the passion for the show and the smile on his face to prove it.Finn and Hold Steady were the perfect fit for a mid-spring night in Omaha Wednesday. The weather finally broke from the cold and the Hold Steady helped br...

Jason Woodbury returns! He’ll keep writing as long as I keep promising him beer. His band, Hands on Fire, opens the Vivian Girls/Ariel Pink show on Monday at Modified. You should go.Live albums are a tricky thing. All my favorites are either very genre specific (Donny Hathaway Live, Sam Cooke at the Copa, Otis [...]

On the last night of the epic, opposite-of-disappointing Rock And Roll Means Well tour, the Hold Steady and the Drive-By Truckers closed out the extravaganza with "Killer Parties." It was glorious. I was there. And thanks to YouTube, you can be too -- most of the show is here . File firmly under: things I'm giving thanks for this year. See you next week, folks, and have a happy holiday.

In lieu of the news that Hold Steady has canceled their UK tour dates in order to let guitarist Tad Kubler recuperate from acute pancreatitis and my desire to incorporate any nutrition into Enough Cowbell, I figured a mix is in order to expedite his recovery.First, some details about acute pancreatitis…Kubler can look forward to [...]

Surely you know Franz Nicolay as the mustachioed melody-maker tickling the ivories and making funny faces with his drinking buddies in the Hold Steady . But Franz contains exponentially more rock than just one band can contain. In addition to his work with the World/Inferno Friendship Society , Franz...
