The Hold Steady throw one hell of a party. Epic and animated, like their songs. They rocked me so hard last night at Emo's that I broke my damn shoe! (Duct tape, you amaze me. So many uses I never foresaw!) The above footage is not from last night's show, but a necessary example of Craig Finn's infectious energy. I guess it's that energy which has allowed them to bang out four albums in five years. Stay Positive is reportedly in the last stages of production.

In summary, do NOT pass up the opportunity to see these guys. EVER.
