THE HOLD STEADY TO RELEASE LIVE ALBUM/DVD

I just found out about this: The Hold Steady is releasing a live CD/DVD set, A Positive Rage, on April 7.  I'm pretty psyched about that: I've never had the chance to see them live. I've heard varying reports about them. Some say they are great, but I heard that when they recently toured with The Drive-By Truckers, the Truckers totally blew them away. But I think that's because the Truckers come from the southern-rock school, while The Hold Steady has the indie rock thing of not wanting to look like you're trying to hard. It's too bad, they have some great songs.
