THE HOLD STEADY w/ Art Brut, 1990's

The Hold Steady has maintained a devout fan base since growing out of the legend of Minneapolis rock band Lifter Puller, and lead singer/firebrand Craig Finn makes it easy to understand why. His style trades on patently singular vocal screeds that siphon added power when the rock gears turn higher and looser, as they do on last year’s breakout Boys And Girls In America. Art Brut frontman Eddie Argos spits acidic observations like a post-punk Ray Davies, baiting hipsters with lines like “I can’t stand the sound of The Velvet Underground” while the band behind him sloshes and slams between The Libertines and Arctic Monkeys. This year’s It’s A Bit Complicated doesn’t exactly live up to its title, as Argos and his group continue on their sardonic pop path with a similar smirk. Glasgow’s 1990s sure makes a playful, crowd-pleasing racket—the kind of pleasantly ramshackle garage-y pop (similar to leader Jackie McKeown’s former group The Yummy Fur) that surely gets even better onstage.

Although much of the world first became aware of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova via the film Once, where they play a couple that falls in love, the duo has a history together as The Swell Season. The lush soundscapes on their 2006 album already had a cinematic quality to them, so a jump to the big screen only made sense. In most circles, Hansard is best known as the primary songwriter of The Frames, and Irglova made her name as a pianist, but they’ll come together again here to perform music from Once. Opening: Martha Wainwright.

Text this event After 2004’s politically charged Liberation,longtime synth-rock squad Trans Am took a couple of years to disappearfrom the touring circuit and relax. It was well-deserved, after 14 years of pretty much constant trafficking in post-rock and dance-minded trends. The band returned this year with Sex Change, a grab bag of classic Trans Am-ness:scintillating flutter-pop,guitar-infused grooves, and hammering overdrive rock. You can’t call a
band Trans Am without some of the latter.
