it has come to the attention of myself and lilhan that johnny foreigner appear not to have any dates booked during the time that the hold steady will be in the uk late this spring. they are known fans (f'realz - lex wore a homemade 'lifter puller' shirt when they played on tv, and there's even the odd sneaky little craig-reference in their lyrics) and good people and to be blunt they're much, much better than any support the hold steady has played with in the UK to date.

i'd like to make it clear, as if it wasn't already, that han and i have no official affiliation with the band and nothing to gain from this except an extra chance or two to see johnny foreigner instead of sitting at the bar waiting for another snoozefest opening act to lumber to the end of another set.
so please, mr tour manager (or whoever is responsible for booking tour support), at least consider johnny foreigner for this tour. if they play, you'll be making at least two big hold steady fans even happier.
please reply if you support this motion.
