Lifter Puller and The Hold Steady
I've been listening to Lifter Puller and their descendant The Hold Steady almost constantly for the past two weeks. I think I like them because they sing about Minneapolis and are Twins fans. Well that's not completely true: I really like their style of music as well. Whatever the reason, I haven't felt like listening to anything else recently which is a great departure from my usual "shuffle all music" habits.
The Hold Steady were actually in Fargo a couple of weeks ago. My brother went and said the concert was awesome. He also really enjoyed the opener Two Cow Garage, I need to check them out. I missed the Hold Steady when they played in DC in August, but I won't make that mistake again.
Here are two of the songs, one from Lifter Puller, and one from The Hold Steady:
