The Hold Steady, "A Positive Rage"

The Hold Steady battled for the top spot on my "Best Of 2008" album list this year, and are now set to release a live album and DVD combo early this spring. A Positive Rage follows the band as they embark on their first performances in London and make their way back to the US for a 24-date tour. The DVD also includes backstage interviews and fan commentaries.

The live album was recorded at the Metro in Chicago on Halloween of 2007. The album will include the following 17 tracks:

1. Intro
2. Stuck Between Stations
3. The Swish
4. Chips Ahoy!
5. Massive Nights
6. Ask Her For Adderall
7. Barfruit Blues
8. Same Kooks
9. You Gotta Dance (With Who You Came With)
10. Lord, I'm Discouraged
11. You Can Make Him Like You
12. Your Little Hoodrat Friend
13. Southtown Girls
14. Citrus
15. First Night
16. Girls Like Status
17. Killer Parities


An enhanced version of the live album should also be available which would include additional and unreleased tracks.

Vagrant Records looks to release A Positive Rage on April 7th, 2009.
