The Hold Steady @ The Annex, NYC (CMJ) | pics & remix MP3
DOWNLOAD: The Hold Steady - Killer Parties (remix) (MP3)
The Hold Steady played an unannounced high-energy 45-minute set at the Annex in NYC Friday evening (Friday November 3rd). It was a CMJ-like party sponsored by the Orchard. Scanners, Dirty On Purpose, and Cold War Kids also on the bill - it was the perfect way to end a long CMJ day.
Rolling Stone writes, "The band tore through a handful of mostly new tunes (including our official favorite song of 2006 'Massive Nights' and the always awesome 'Stevie Nix') while passing around a bottle of Jack, sweating and singing most of the lyrics vaguely near a microphone. How does a band this loose stay this tight?"
I was also especially excited to hear them play 'Chips Ahoy' -- I missed their most recent record release show at Irving Plaza. The next next chance to see them locally is at Warsaw with the Constantines on November 22nd.
Stereogum and Yeti were there too.
After the show I went home, only to return to the Annex first thing the next morning.
THE HOLD STEADY ON KIMMEL THIS FRIDAY
"The New York hipster favorites will hit the Los Angeles studios of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live Friday (Nov. 10), to play what's tipped as a 'mini-concert.'" [Aversion]
