the HOLD STEADY - Tribeca Film Festival pics, McCarren Pool details, a new album in July, tour dates
photos by Paul Bachmann
The first free Brooklyn ‘Pool Party’ of the summer will happen (at McCarren Pool) on June 29, 2008. The linuep is: The Hold Steady, The Loved Ones, and The Muslims, and the date is not long before the Hold Steady release their fourth album…
Stay Positive is due July 14 in the UK from new overseas home Rough Trade and July 15 in the States from Vagrant. The John Agnello-produced set, recorded in the greater New York metropolitan area this winter, sports both a wider array of instrumentation than past Hold Steady discs, and lyrics that concern themselves with “the attempt to age gracefully.” Check out our chat with Craig and guitarist Tad Kubler from February for a little more insight into the forthcoming disc straight from the source.

Friday night was the Tribeca Film Festival show at Webster Hall (May 2, 2008). Those who were there said it was good, but short. The Hold Steady’s set was less than an hour with no encore. That’s because there were lots of bands on the bill and it was more a film festival event than a proper concert. More photos from that, along with the new album tracklist, and tour dates, below….
The Virgins, Republic Tigers and Bad Veins played the Webster Hall show too.
Jessica Szohr from the TV Show Gossip Girls was in the audience.
