At the beginning of the month we dropped the Stay Positive track listing on y’all. Indeed kids, the new record from The Hold Steady nears with each passing day (July 15th on Vagrant). The Hold Steady played Milwaukee last month while everyone in Madison was taking in Bon Iver over at the Stage Door. Somehow I knew Craig Finn and crew wouldn’t miss the chance to revisit Madison, especially with new material ready to be delivered for your aural pleasure.

The Hold Steady + The Loved Ones will play the Majestic Theatre in Madison on Monday, July 21st. No case of the Monday’s that week, beer and liquor vendors can anticipate a hefty payday due to the escalated amounts of beer and whiskey consumption. Though it didn’t make the upcoming record, I’m going to make a public request they play “Ask Her For Some Adderall”

Tickets: $16.50 Advanced / $18.50 Day Of Show
On Sale: Tuesday, May 20 @ 10:00 am via Majestic Theatre, by phone (1800-514-ETIX), at CONTEXT (next door to the Majestic, 113 King Street), STRICTLY DISCS, B Side Records, Mad City Music, PIPEFITTER, MOCO MARKET, and online at www.TrueEndeavors.com.
