Hold Steady: Expanded Web Content
Filed under: City Pages
Jeff Severns Guntzel offers the proverbial window into the life of The Hold Steady in this week's feature. Online, we're offering a different look at the band through photos, sounds, interactive media and expanded text.
Start with the photo gallery with concert images by Daniel Corrigan -- and shots from the road by guitarist Tad Kubler. Also available: an audio soundslide backed by a track from the group's acclaimed album Boys and Girls in America.
Interested in seeing the inextricable links between The Hold Steady and the Twin Cities? Check out our interactive map that shows the spots Craig Finn is talking about in the band's lyrics, with links to more information and photos.
Hear author Jeff Severns Guntzel talking about his experience doing the story on cPod, our weekly podcast.
After the jump, you'll find five of the coolest Hold Steady videos available on YouTube and a comprehensive timeline of the band's career, beginning in 2000 and stretching forward into the future -- with links to landmark articles, including one we published some years back. Enjoy.
THE BEST OF THE HOLD STEADY ON YOUTUBE
The Interweb is awash with Hold Steady videos. We combed through them and picked five really, really good ones.
1. THS performing the song that opened their first album for San Diego community television.
2. THS performing "Chips Ahoy" in Belgium. This is #2 because it is so fun to yell ROCK WERCHTER 2007!
3. THS performing "212-Margerita" live and acoustic--it's really all about Kubler on that couch.
4. THS on Jools Holland in the UK. Finn is just plain unhinged in this video. And Kubler is wearing that hat.
5. Guitarist Tad Kubler recounting the "Top 10 Buddy Cop Movies":

The map is fun but the Party City he is talking about is the one in the Quarry in NE Mpls. In the song Southtown Girls. You take Lowry East to the Quarry. Then mentions the Rainbow Foods at the Quarry and in the next sentence the Party City.

Great! Thanks for the tip, I'll change that.

hey Jeff, great article!
fwiw, I actually created a "Hold Steady Guide To Minneapolis" in October of 2006 using Google Maps. It was linked on stereogum.com, pitchforkmedia.com, and even the Hold Steady's website:
