My best friend from college co-owns the Georgia Theater, the largest nightclub in Athens, GA. Beck sold it out for two nights in April. REM has played there many, many times. It's a great club.
Anyway, my friend sees live bands five nights a week and has for 20 years. He's seen a thousand bands, I bet. He says the best band to come down the pike in a long, long time is called The Hold Steady. Until tonight, I had never heard of them. My loss.
If I still played in a band, this is the kind of stuff I'd play.
