This past Tuesday afternoon The Hold Steady came by to perform a few songs for our Live at Gothamist House series. This time we departed our HQ and went over to Ridgewood, Queens—where we watched, filmed and recorded the band on a gorgeous roofdeck-equipped recording studio called Florida Keys NYC. We'll post all of the videos, as well as an interview and downloadable MP3s of the live recording we did, at a later date—but for now, here's one video of them performing "The Weekenders" off their new album Heaven Is Whenever. The band just embarked on a long tour, and won't return to play in the city until October (when they'll be at the Beacon Theater).
P.S.: In the future we'll be hosting contests where you will be able to win a chance to attend these filmings (keep an eye out in our newsletter for those).
