Before their State Fair gig, The Hold Steady appeared at the Electric Fetus to talk about their new book, The Gospel of The Hold Steady: How a Resurrection Really Feels . Most of the coffee table-sized book, filled with big, glossy photographs, is an oral history told by the band themselves and their associates, all woven together by the British rock journalist Michael Hann, a longtime friend of the band. It's a worthy addition to the rock book milieu, basically a brutally honest transcription of the band's creative process, internal politics, business decisions, and celebrations and struggles with intoxicants.
