HOLD STEADY FOR 7TH PERIOD
According to an article on Pitchfork, The Hold Steady are not too cool for school. They will be playing at a school during 7th period. This is definitely something that is quite excellent about indie music, that would simply be impossible with a larger act. The Hold Steady will play and then the lyrics will be used as a basis for discussion about the problems faced by kids at the school… interesting. I am impressed that they are going to allow it because from what I remember some of those lyrics are fairly “adult” oriented. The teahcer that got the ball rolling on this (might be the most excellent teacher ever) heard The Hold Steady on the NPR segment I mentioned earlier on vdov.net.
