Recorded this November in Brooklyn, NY, with producer Josh Kaufman, "Entitlement Crew" b/w "A Snake In The Shower" marks the first new music from The Hold Steady in nearly four years as well as the first studio recording to feature longtime keyboard player Franz Nicolay since 2008's beloved fourth album, STAY POSITIVE.

The sold out shows - each featuring surprise-opening guests - start tonight and conclude Saturday, December 2nd.
