Star Beat tipped us off that Steel Train has announced two holiday Maxwell's shows December 29th & 30th. The NJ group is fresh off the "use your SOLE" tour, which featured Hanson & Hellogoodbye. These headlining dates won't be just be like any other shows though. Steel Train has decided to let the fans choose their setlist. To find out exactly how this will work, check out the message below.

Evan (aka Clark Griswold, aka Santa Claus) and his elves, Jack, Daniel, Justin, and Jon, are currently putting together a list of their favorite tracks, both naughty and nice. The songs on this list will include Steel Train material from For You My Dear, Twilight Tales, Trampoline, 1969, unreleased b sides and demos and about 10 of our favorite covers.

We will then ask you, the fans, to vote for your favorite songs from the selections offered. The band will pick the 15 most popular choices and craft a setlist from that material. We’ve never done anything like this before, so this will definatly be a magical night. We will send the ballot out to our mailing list first, so if you haven’t yet signed up, get to it. We will then put the ballot up on our site for a limited time.
