Craig Finn, front man of The Hold Steady, and Tom Ruprecht, longtime writer for Late Night With David Letterman, have acquired the rights to bestselling memoir Fargo Rock City, written by Chuck Klosterman, and plan to co-write and produce a feature film based on the book. Klosterman will also lend a hand in producing the film. The book is about a bunch of nerdy teenage metal-heads from the podu...

Great news! Hold Steady lead singer, Craig Finn is adapting Fargo Rock City (the great book about a kid growing up loving hair metal in a rural community) into a movie. The story revolves around how music/genres can shape our pivotal years and have a direct impact on our minds in the later ones.

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 [...]

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.
