Today's Independent review the Hold Steady's Mancester gig, and give them a 4 star review.
"The group's only charisma comes from keyboardist Franz Nicolay, whose hooded eyes, curled moustache and gulps from a bottle of wine visually recall the dissolute rock critic Lester Bangs, who would surely have loved The Hold Steady. Not least because they keep laughing, as they seem to constantly recall just how great it is to play rock'n'roll. It is as if they are still fans, watching themselves... The Hold Steady stick around afterwards for a party to which everyone is invited, which just about sums them up"
