Cam Jones Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Any fans of these guys? They've come along at a really interesting time in my life. And I've pretty much make them a constant in my CD rotation. Their lyrics are so smart and cheeky at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bennyb Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I love The Hold Steady, I've seen them live twice, each time has been a great experience. The new album is wonderful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cam Jones Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 I'm going to see them (hopefully) in October. It seems like almost a religious experience. I agree. the new record is really solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 There are a lot of Hold Steady fans here at VC. They are one of my favorite bands, and Heaven Is Whenever is one of my favorite rock records of the year--partially because it presents a new, more reflective tone for the band that I can easily relate to.

Griddles Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 They are really good. Just saw them for the first time this summer. It was rockin' Also, just sayin' http://forums.viachicago.org/topic/41867-the-hold-steady/page__hl__hold+steady Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Degenerex Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Definitely one of my favorite bands around right now. Many people feel the same way as you do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO2SPAC Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Boys and Girls in America is one of my favorite albums of the past decade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IATTBYB Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 The Hold Steady are coming to Kalamazoo . . . and playing at The Strutt?!?!? Seems like a really small place for them, but it will probably be a really great show. Too bad I will feel out-of-place with all the kids that hang out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cre618 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Not my favorite comedian, but I'm often reminded of this exact bit whenever I go to concerts. I'm "that guy." Sucks getting old. On the bright side, saw THS four times the week before last...and I didn't care what people thought of me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Degenerex Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Cheap plug time - I wrote up a little something about the song "We Can Get Together" on my blog today: http://musicalsupportgroup.blogspot.com/ The lyrics to that song are just great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
