Two Cow Garage Join The Hold Steady On The Road


10/06/2009
.
(PR) The Hold Steady have invited Columbus, Ohio-based rock band Two Cow Garage on a leg of their quickly approaching October tour. Two Cow Garage gladly accepted, continuing to tour in support of "Speaking In Cursive" (Received 5 stars from antiMusic's Gary Schwind).

Comprised of Micah Schnabel (vocals, guitar), Shane Sweeney (bass, vocals), Chris Flint (guitar), Andy Schell (keyboards), and Cody Smith (drums), the outfit, which plays more than 200 shows a year (and has for the past six years), has made their darkest, yet most rewarding record to date, writing songs that deal with the problems and dilemmas of growing up, coming to terms with ones dreams versus reality, as well as songs about substance abuse, the wasting of youth (and the effects on your friends when youth is stolen too soon), navigating the troubled waters of relationships, and, of course, crushes-turned-heartbreak.

With "Speaking in Cursive", Two Cow Garage has brought on a permanent keyboard player with Andy Schell, helping the band expand on their guitar-bass-drum assault, adding depth and richer melodies to the heartbreak-on-the-sleeve lyrical bite and rock attack that Two Cow Garage is already known for.

CURRENT TOUR DATES (all with THE HOLD STEADY):

10/18 Fargo Theater - Fargo, ND
