“Massive Nights” by Hold Steady

"Massive Nights" comes from Boys and Girls in America, the Hold Steady's third studio album, which Vagrant released in October 2006. Craig Finn, Tad Kubler and Franz Nicolay share the writing credit, and John Agnello, who produced the whole album, recorded and mixed it as well, with Ted Doherty, Chris Dececio and Ted Young assisting along the way.

The album borrows its name from the opening of "Stuck Between Stations", a line that nods to Jack Kerouac's On the Road and its narrator, Sal Paradise, and the phrase comes back around in "First Night". "Chips Ahoy!" went out first, as a free download through Pitchfork, with "Stuck Between Stations" following it onto campus radio.
