The Hold Steady roll call

[mrpee]

Did anyone else think 'Seperation Sunday' was one of the most lyrically inventive and invigorating albums of last year? Or was that just the smack talking? Anyone else plan on being there (and being high?)

[mrpee]

or Separation Sunday, as some call it

[kcjones119]

I'll be there

[Bags]

I'll be there, not high.  
 
 Will be my first show in two months.  Pretty amazing, and it's kind of like giving up booze for Lent -- I'm pretty stoked I was able to do it!
 
 I probably need to get that album, eh?

[Bombay Chutney]

I'm so bummed I'm missing this one.  

[amnesiac]

I plan on going. Definitely not high. Not that I'm opposed, but this is drinkin' music...

I've just been listening to the mp3s on their site...really good stuff.  Which album is their best?

[brennser]

any chance this will sell out? I am planning on being there.....Chaz - I can gmail you some more mp3s if you like

[nkotb]

Is there a standout track that I should hear?  I listened to a few songs online from the new album, and I wasn't that impressed.  Am I missing something here?

"Banging Camp" and "How a Resurrection Really Feels" were my favorites off Separation Sunday.  "The Swish" from their first album.

hmmm, I personally love 'Youe Little Hoodrat friend" which is widely available as a free download
 
 I also like Steve Nix and Chicago seemed tired last night and a few others
 
 it aint gonna change the world but I love it for its boozy, honky-tonky early Springsteenish vibe.....and hes an interesting lyricist

Yeah man...bring 'em on...you got my address.  Thanks!

If you base possibility of a sell out on hits on their Myspace page, no way.  The highest a Hold Steady song has is 1400 hits.  Meanwhile, The Veronicas have had over 50,000 hits.
 
 May say as much about the demographic of the respective fan bases, though.

Present and accounted for...I'll be there and i'm pretty sure this is my first show of '06.

[brennser]

am dragging a little after DJing last night but will try to be there
