Killer Parties Lyrics


If they ask about Charlemagne
Be polite and say something vague
Like another lover lost to the restaurant raidsIf they ask, why we left in the first place
Say we were young and we were so in love
And I guess we just needed spaceWe've heard about this place they called the United States
And we found out Virginia really is for the lovers
Philly, full of friendly friends that will love you like a brotherPensacola parties hard with poppers, pills and pepsi
Ybor city is tres speedy but they throw such killer parties
Killer parties almost killed me, killer parties almost killed meAnd if she says we partied then I'm pretty sure we partied
I really don't remember, I remember we departed from our bodies
We woke up in Ybor cityIf she says we partied then I'm pretty sure we partied
And I really don't remember, I remember we departed from our bodies
And we woke up in Ybor cityIf she says we partied then I'm pretty sure we partied
And I really don't remember, I remember we departed from our bodies
And we woke up in Ybor city

The Hold Steady is a Brooklyn-based rock band formed by vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) in 2004. Wanting to capture the sound of bands such as The Replacements and The Grifters, he recruited guitarist Tad Kubler (also ex-Lifter Puller), drummer Judd Counsell, and bassist Galen Polivka. In 2005 the band grew to include Franz Nicolay (of The World/Inferno Friendship Society) on keyboards and Bobby Drake took over on drums following Counsell's departure.

Recording mostly live, the band released its debut, Almost Killed Me, on French Kiss Records in March 2004 and Separation Sunday a year later. In April 2006 the band signed to Vagrant Records and entered the studio on the 1st of May to begin work on their third record, Boys And Girls In America. Released in October, it was one of the most critically acclaimed records of 2006 and reached a much larger audience than its predecessors.

The band released their fourth album, Stay Positive, recorded again with Boys And Girls In America producer John Agnello. Nicolay left the group and on May 4, 2010 the band released their fifth studio album, Heaven Is Whenever, recorded with producer Dean Baltulonis.


On July 15, 2008, Stay Positive was released. It debuted at #30 on the Billboard 200. It debuted on the UK Album Chart at #15 on July 20, the third-highest new entry. It ranked #1 on the UK Indie Chart. The album was named the best of 2008 by Entertainment Weekly. The song "Constructive Summer" was number 56 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.
