Hot Water Music -- Ybor City, FL -- January 16th, 2013

The Menzingers - I wasn't familiar with them at all but i was a little impressed, I think they are the "next big thing" in their respective genre, I'll definitely check out their music - 6.5/10

La Dispute - Probably the main reason for a majority of the audience, my 2nd time seeing them and they still do not disappoint. They played all of my favorite songs of theirs, and they even had a nice little pit going for a couple songs, and of course King Park was beyond intense live, definitely A band you should go see live - 9/10

Hot Water Music - All of the scene/hipster kids left after LD and in came all of the 35 or so year old "bro-men", HWM are a lot of fun live, I'd definitely go see them again. - 9/10

I got La Dispute's setlist, a HWM pick and an La Dispute/Touche Amore split EP on vinyl.

The Menzingers have a solid three albums out now...all are pretty good in their own right. I'd probably start with On the Impossible Past and work backwards.

Hahaha La Dispute is the worst band on this bill by such a wide margin it's not even funny

I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 bands, La Dispute's connection with the crowd made for a pretty intense vibe, but HWM definitely put on a better performance, but I don't think any of these bands are bad

I saw Hot Water Music open for Rise Against last September. They were fun to watch live. Nothing revolutionary, but nice raw punk. I also have their new album Exister and I thought it was great! The video they just released for Drag My Body, was different to say the least.

Was the show w/ Rise Against at an amphitheater or a arena? Cause they're definitely a medium sized club band

I may go just for La Dispute and prob leave before HWM. I dig HWM though, good stuff.

The show with Rise Against wasn't at an amphitheater or an arena, it was at The Rave in the biggest section of the building (the Eagles Ballroom) in Milwaukee. The full capacity for where they played is 1,700 I think.

Yes, The Gaslight Anthem played after Hot Water Music at my show and the fall leg of the Rise Against tour.
