Hotly-tipped barroom rockers The Hold Steady have announced details of a February tour to support the UK release of album Boys and Girls in America.
The 'tour' will include six dates, though admittedly the band will be in the capital for four of those. Where? Here:
February
13 Manchester Jabez Clegg
14 Glasgow Cathouse
15 London Hoxton Bar And Grill
16 London Camden Koko (Club NME)
17 London Borderline
18 London Borderline
The album, which has been out since October in the States, will be on shelves here from Monday (January 15).

are mad about this lot. I dont get it.
Some really good songs on the album
and some not so good.
A bit meh for a while, then a bit WOW, then a bit meh again.
I saw them when I was in the states
I thought they were very average live, but sound a little better on record.
The way they're
written about you kind of expect fabulousness (?), but when I actually heard their songs it all just seemed...very average. Neither bad nor good.
this lot
are fucking rubbish
They're not
being very ambitious are they - Borderline is about 200 capacity or less... don't know their stuff particularly but they've had enough hype that they could probably fill bigger venues just through curiosity factor surely.
The album is hit and miss
Half is great, half is average
Great songs: Stuck Between Stations, Chips Ahoy, First Night, Massive Night, Citrus, Chillout Tent
IS THAT
a disism? if so, ISU,E
First Night
easily the standout on the first few listens.
saw them
support les savy fav in islington once and they were quite fun
I was there too
and yes, quite fun.
Not as much fun as the Fav, obviously.
Brown leotard, hand in pants.
The new album is cracking
But the first album is better.
Can't wait to see this lot.
no
it's a venue capacity. well done for trying though.
Hmmm
Agree with person above who said they were 'very Borderline'. Accurate on the venue front, but I have to say I also think they are very borderline - borderline boring old farts.
Did somebody say Pub Rock Revival??
i see
ta
