The Hold Steady

On April 12, 2012, The Hold Steady performed live at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, right after a Spurs basketball game, which is a pretty unique backdrop for a rock show! By this time, the band had recently released their fifth studio album, 'Heaven Is Whenever,' in May 2010. During this period, they were solidifying their reputation as one of the most dynamic live acts in indie rock. An interesting tidbit about this performance is their energetic rendition of "Hood Rat Friend," which encapsulates their storytelling lyricism and spirited sound. The Hold Steady gained quite the following through their clever narratives and engaging shows, making this spontaneous gig a memorable moment for fans and basketball enthusiasts alike. Their dedication to live performance shines as a hallmark of their artistry.
