Hold Steady Tour: Mixed Bag.

Why? Well, they canceled the entire tour on the day of the first show due their guitarist getting pancreatitis. Obviously bad news because:
a) we feel bad for them, they are known as road warriors and wouldn't cancel such a massive tour unless it was very serious, and selfishly,
b) we had just landed in London when we found out this information and had made rather extensive financial/logistical sacrifices in order to do these shows, and
c) we were really looking forward to playing all of those amazing venues.

So, obviously, massive disappointment. But, we luckily have a supportive label/booking agent/etc. and were able to arrange a nice string of headlining/support shows in London and around the UK.

We played a sweet gig at the Borderline in London with the Dudes and Ladyhawk (righteous fellers and full-on rock bands), and a revered old-school psyche-head had this to say about it.

We also really got to know the infinitely-complex megalopolis London. There are some truly wonderful people whose hospitality saved our lives. Thank you.

The show in Valencia on October 25th is still happening, muy bien.

Hasta Luego..
