The Hold Steady
My first acquaintance with this Brooklyn based New York Rock band, came with the 2007 re-issue (with bonus live/ acoustic mini-CD) of their 2006 album Boys And Girls In America (expended review with history of the band up to that point posted 24/12/2007; the original album being reviewed by then-colleague Trik – review posted 10/02/2007...both still available in the “Archives” section of this here website). Regretfully, that's also my most recent contact with the band, which leaves me with the task of relating the band's history since then...
