Win tickets to see The Hold Steady this New Year’s Eve

Mark Seliger
Each month, The Onion and The A.V. Club will send one lucky winner and a friend to a concert in Milwaukee, along with a pair of roundtrip Amtrak Hiawatha tickets. This month, get on board to see The Hold Steady on New Year’s Eve at the Riverside Theater.
E-mail rsvpmilwaukee@theonion.com with “Mil Amtrak Hold Steady” in the subject line to enter to win.
With its latest, Heaven Is Whenever, The Hold Steady continues to sing J.D. Salinger-caliber stories through an edgy, alternative/indie rock style, reminiscent of alternative pioneers from the Midwest, Hüsker Dü and The Replacements. Despite being unable to escape the categorization of “another indie band from Brooklyn,” The Hold Steady’s infectiousness and approachableness has fixed the band a spot in the hearts of many music obsessive Midwesterners, forever rendering The Hold Steady as a loved member of the Midwest family.
