The Hold Steady to release live album, documentary

On April 7, everyone's favorite drunkenly literate rockers The Hold Steady will release A Positive Rage, a 2-in-1 live album and DVD documentary, via Vagrant Records.

The documentary follows the band through the release of its third full-length, Boys and Girls in America, and the world tour ensuing. It traces the group from its first London shows through back stage interviews, fan commentary and original audio. The live album was recorded on Oct. 31, 2007. It features 17 songs performed at the Metro in Chicago.  

And that's not all the dudes have planned for 2009. In February, they'll fly off on an international tour, culminating in May when they'll support Counting Crows.

1. "Intro"
