The Hold Steady on YouTube
THE
HOLD STEADY
The
Hold Steady will be playing The Rex Theater Monday March 19th. I'll admit that
until recently I was one of those people who didn't necessarily get this band's
hype and popularity. In fact, I skipped their main stage set this past summer
at a festival at Cuyahoga Falls, OH for Wolfmother on the second stage. I loved
Wolfmother that day but I regret that I hadn't yet discovered what is great
about The Hold Steady. I read all of the press comparing them to this hybrid
of Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello and Randy Newman fronting The Replacements but The Hold Steady possess a vibe, swagger and energy that is their own identity. Putting together this YouTube video package helped me realize that. To my friends who constantly had
to hear me say, "I don't get them" at the mention of The Hold Steady,
I get them now.
