Formed four years following the break-up of Finn and Kubler's former band, Lifter Puller, The Hold Steady released the debut album "Almost Killed Me" in 2004. They came to prominence with the release of their third studio album, "Boys and Girls in America", in 2006. In 2010, keyboardist and multi-instrumentalist Franz Nicolay left the band prior to the recording of their fifth studio album, "Heaven Is Whenever" (2010). During the band's subsequent tour, the band became a five piece, once more, with the addition of guitarist Steve Selvidge. The band released their sixth LP, "Teeth Dreams", on March 25, 2014.
