The Hold Steady - Live performance podcast for KEXP
Live at CMJ - 16 October 2007


From the KEXP Press Release;

Craig Finn seems to be the real deal! All those stories he tells about bar fights and stumbling across the streets of New York City apparently really did happen and if you are lucky enough to hear the band, he will share all those manic moments with you.

Accompanied by band mates Bobby Drake (drums) Tad Kubler (lead guitarist), Franz Nicolay (keyboards, accordion, harmonica), Galen Polivka (bass guitar) the band have produced several critically acclaimed albums, the first of which, Almost Killed Me coined them as being next in line to the New York indie dynasty back in 2004.

Their second album, Separation Sunday was released on May 3rd, 2005, and slapped listeners with the classic rock and roll battle between music and religion. Finn stretched himself to new levels of rugged debauchery and downright delicious music madness in pure punk form.

Check out their performance of 16 October, broadcast from the Gibson showroom in NYC.
