Friday Night Rock features 'bar band' The Hold Steady

By Erin McDonald | November 17, 2005

This Friday night in the Fuel club inside Collis, "bar band" indie rockers The Hold Steady will perform for a crowd of students eager to relax after a tough week of pre-Thanksgiving papers and enjoy the energy and charisma of up-tempo rock. Thanks to the funding of Programming Board and the organizational work of the Friday Night Rock committee, this New York City-based band, originally from Minnesota, promises to entertain students with what a Pitchfork reviewer described simply as a "harsh, emphatic beat."
