Greetings! We are happy to announce the update for shows (with audiences) originally scheduled for 2020. We will begin with a return to @FirstAvenue & 7th St Entry in Minneapolis this November 2021 to help them celebrate their (belated) 50th birthday. The multi-show visits to Toronto, Nashville/Atlanta, Denver, Los Angeles and Melbourne, Australia will now take place across 2022. Details are below. Please note, we have also scheduled Massive Nights for December 1 - December 4, 2021 at @BrooklynBowl in Brooklyn. Mark those dates on your calendar and as things develop, we'll provide more information on tickets and the shows. We are also planning to celebrate The Weekender, our annual three-night stand in London, in March 2022. Details on that weekend will follow as well. We're extremely excited to play for you and to share songs from our new record Open Door Policy as well as everyone's favorites from our catalog. If you’ve already purchased tickets for any of these shows, here’s what each promoter has stated: Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Toronto -- All original tickets will be honored for the new dates. Refunds will be issued to ticket holders who cannot attend the rescheduled dates. Atlanta, Nashville, Denver -- All original tickets will be honored for the new dates. However, Refund requests are limited to the first 30 days after the rescheduled dates have been announced. If there are doubts for any show, get the refund and repurchase when you know. Any questions, please contact the promoter/venue/ticket provider directly. All UPDATED dates for 2021-2022 are listed at theholdsteady.net.

You can now watch the entire Open Door Policy release party set on YouTube! Last month, we played the songs from our new record Open Door Policy for an online audience through Relix and Twitch. This also doubled as a record release celebration, and it was the first live performance ever for about half of these songs. ODP was mostly recorded at the end of 2019, so it felt incredible to finally have these songs out in the world and to be playing and hearing them live for people around the world who were now familiar with this music. Of course, we very much look forward to the time when we can do this with a live audience in the room, but this presentation of our new music was thrilling for the band. Thanks for watching, thanks for understanding.

Thanks to everyone who has checked out Open Door Policy. It’s a really special record to us and we appreciate all your kind words about it. We put together this playlist to accompany the album. Each of these songs fall into one of these categories: a) Songs that influenced the making of ODP b) Songs that are mentioned or alluded to on ODP c) Songs that remind us ODP in some way d) Songs that we just really like. We will let you guess which category each falls into. No special order so we recommend listening on shuffle. Link in bio. Thanks for listening. Thanks for understanding. THS
