Biography

The Hold Steady was born out of some loose talk in my Boreum Hill apartment in 2002. I had moved to Brooklyn about two years earlier. I was thirty-one years old, and the other dudes were about my same age. Our concept was to start a straight rock band, with low aspirations. Just local shows, no touring, and most likely, no real records. We practiced for a while and then played our first show in… Read more in Amazon's The Hold Steady Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Accoustic Hold Steady showcases "Boys and Girls in America", August 10, 2007

This review is from: Live At Fingerprints (Audio CD)

In 2006 the Hold Steady released the excellent "Boys and Girls in America" album, and they have been touring relentlessly since then.

"Live at Fingerprints" (5 tracks, 18 min.) was recorded at an in-store performance at Fingerprints in California, and presents the band bringing accoustic versions of 3 tracks from the "Boys and Girls in America" album (Chips Ahoy, You Can Make Him Like You, Citrus) and 2 other tracks (Cattie and the Creepy Things, You Gotta Dance With Who You Came to Dance With), and it all sounds great. The band sounds relaxed, and the inbetween songs banter by Craig Finn is just hilarious. This EP was released only to independent CD retailers, although obviously it is available in the after-market, including here on Amazon.

I just saw the Hold Steady in concert last week here in Cincinnati at the Sonic Muse Fest, and they put on a great, energic show, with the set having a heavy emphasis on "Boys and Girls in America" songs, as it should be. If you have a chance to see them live, don't miss them. Meanwhile, this EP is a nice addition for Hold Steady fans.
