The Hold Steady Take It to the Bars

She said, “It's good to see you back in a bar band, baby.” I said, “It's great to see you're still in the bars.”

And if you’re still in the bars, the world’s best bar band is coming for you.

Those hard-rocking, hard-working dudes in the Hold Steady hit the road again in May for more support of 2006’s Boys and Girls in America. A trip across America and back also includes performances at both Sasquatch! and Bonnaroo festivals, with more dates promised “to come.”

This is the latest in a steady flow of news flooding the news desk recently from Paste’s May cover artists (awesome artwork above). Last week, we reported the bands acoustic experimentation while the band released a video for “Stuck Between Stations.” See the video here.
