TURNSTILE BY HOT WATER MUSIC
All posts in October will be from bands playing Fest 10 in Gainesville, Florida. Everything will be posted in the order that they are playing.
Friday, 11:25 at The Florida Theater of Gainesville.
Amongst my friends, there are two camps when it comes to HWM. One believes that the No Idea years were the best and anything beyond Forever and Counting is terrible. The other believes the opposite, that the Epitaph years were great.
I’m firmly among the first group. Firmly. I haven’t seen HWM live in years because of this, but I’d check them out in hopes of hearing some of the old gold. There are at least 4 post-post No Idea albums, though, so who knows if I’d actually get to hear anything I wanted. But Hot Water Music at Fest seems like a no-brainer.
I’m pretty sure I’d leave this show after 15 minutes and try to rush to the Coliseum. A band I actively care about.
