Crosstawk

After a long hiatus, the original co-host of DMP is back! Mike Sklens returns to the show to present one of his favorite bands: The Hold Steady. These guys not only rock hard but also flood your ears with quick-fire lyrics that are mysterious and often funny. Lead singer/guitarist Craig Finn has a very strange vocal method, but it becomes more familiar and more mature as the band's material evolves through time -- so stick with it! After just a few songs, it's easy to hear why Mike loves the band, and you will probably start to grow on The Hold Steady as well. Here's the setlist: 1. Most People are DJs (Almost Killed Me) 2. You Gotta Dance (Almost Killed Me) 3. Ask Her for Adderall (A Positive Rage -- Bonus Track) 4. Your Little Hoodrat Friend (A Positive Rage) 5. How a Ressurection Really Feels (Separation Sunday) 6. Same Kooks (Boys and Girls in America) 7. Party Pit (Boys and Girls in America) 8. One for the Cutters (Stay Positive) 9. Slapped Actress (Stay Positive) 10. The Weekenders (Heaven is Whenever)
