Hold On!

Apparently some people haven’t heard The Hold Steady. That makes me sad.

Check out their MySpace to hear Stay Positive, their newest album, and Boys and Girls in America, their last album (which made most “Best of ‘06” lists). You can also check out the tour stops to see if they’ll be near you. The show in Billings tonight is free, sponsored by MySpace.

Their encore last night was incredible. They played a new song I don’t know the name of with Franz (their awesome keyboardist) playing the Fargo Theater’s restored Mighty Wurlitzer, debuted a previously unperformed song called The Ballad of the Midnight Hauler, and damn-near destroyed downtown Fargo with Stuck Between Stations.
