The Hold Steady have been turned into a comic book.
The band’s last album Boys And Girls In America have inspired an animated book where each song on the record has it’s own section and the lyrics of the track become the words on the page.
The comic is being offered by the band on their website so click below if you fancy some of that.
Pras has spoken out again about a Fugees reunion.
The rapper said that the reunion will never happen adding: “Before I work with Lauryn Hill again, you will have a better chance of seeing Osama Bin Laden and [George W.] Bush in Starbucks having a latte, discussing foreign policies, before there will be a Fugees reunion. At this point I really think it will take an act of God to change her, because she is that far out there.”
Reports have been circulating that the singer has been insisting she is called Miss Hill by everyone around her and has been showing other diva-like qualities. Meanwhile, Pras is working on his new solo album, Experience, which is due to be released this year.
