Flashback Friday: Lifter Puller


Fans of The Hold Steady might be interested to know that Craig Finn and Tad Kubler had a different band when they were still living in Minneapolis, and that band was called Lifter Puller. Active from 1994-2000, the band's collection is going to be made available digitally in a deluxe edition this December. Lifter Puller had little success while together but as soon as they broke up received great critical acclaim (figures, right?). They had a few very successful reuinion shows after that and then The Hold Steady was formed when Craig and Tad moved to NYC. Check out this live recording off the deluxe edition collection:

Lifter Puller was awesome. Hold Steady is good, too, but they abandoned us for NYC :(
