Brooklyn's The Hold Steady are headed to Europe in February to play a number of shows in a number of countries. They'll return to the States in time for an appearance at the Langerado Music Festival in Sunrise, FL, an event that features everyone from Michael Franti & Spearhead to Toots & the Maytals to the New Pornographers. They'll follow that event with a short tour alongside SubPop punks the Thermals. Both acts are supporting critically acclaimed new full lengths, those being Boys and Girls in America and The Body, The Blood, The Machine respectively.
