Oh, Canada: The Hold Steady Edition

Posted at 7:10 AM on August 23, 2006 by Hans Eisenbeis (43 Comments)

This is old news, but when it comes to Canada-- well, it's all good. A few weeks ago, our favorite transplanted Minneapolis band, the Hold Steady, made a little sortie to Canada from their homebase of Brooklyn, New York. Seems the Canadian authorities were not exactly welcoming. According to the band's blog,

"We got fleeced getting into Canada. They charged Bobby 200 bones for a traffic ticket he got in Minneapolis 6 years ago. And then they proceeded to tear our truck apart, charge us tax AND duty on all our merch, and confiscate our case of Hold Steady lighters. There are kids all over Quebec and Ontario flicking their bics with below average fire power. Blame your government. We tried our best. And they took their f----ing sweet time, too. When I went back in to get a new code to be released from the holding lot, they were all having a good laugh. In French. To the Canadian authorities: My middle finger to you. On the bright side: To the Canadian people and bar owners: I put my hands together and say a prayer that you're there.

The Hold Steadies' prayers were answered, apparently. Nothing but positive notices from north of the heavily fortified border.
