the hold steady took the stage last night dressed as banditos, in mustaches, ponchos & cowboy hats, & proceeded to terrorize the sold out metro crowd with a rollicking & chaotic set that pretty much solidified them, in my eyes, as the best straight up rock n roll band working today...the show was being recorded for a live album, & there were cameras rolling from all angles, but i think it'd be hard to capture just how much energy these guys generate from their fans (enough sing alongs & hand claps to make jeff tweedy's head fall off)...the costumes [...]

Drug Rug is the boyfriend/girlfriend duo of Sarah Cronin and Thomas Allen. They obviously haven't been together that long because the songs are still so happy and shiny. She hasn't sucked the lifeforce from him and made him cry himself to sleep each night yet. Nooo, I keed! I keed! Like a lot of bands, it's The Byrds and Beach Boys meet the indie stylings of today.
