CONFESSION TIME. I’d never actually gotten around to listening to any of their music. Not really. I had an mp3 of Jack of All Trades<\/a> somewhere and I’d heard one of the new songs but that was it.<\/p>\n

Which is really weird because back when HWM did that split with Alkaline Trio<\/a>, I got hold of all the Alk3 tracks and liked them and thought "well, you know, the HWM tracks will probably be good too right?" AND THEN JUST NEVER LISTENED TO THEM.<\/p>\n

Weird. I know. I even saw Chuck Ragan<\/a> on The Revival Tour last year and once again (like.. a decade after that Alk3 moment) thought "I should really listen to Hot Water Music, I like all of their friends’ music…"<\/p>\n

So yeah. I jumped on getting a ticket for this because…I figured that it was as good a time as any to really listen to a band for the first time and OMGOMGOMG IT WAS AWESOME. :D:D:D:D<\/p>\n

Admittedly, that’s somewhat similar to my reaction to the Avengers film when I saw it last week. You get the point though.<\/p>\n

And they played the two songs I was vaguely familiar with, so bonus.<\/p>\n

HildaMay were cool. I confess here that I didn’t look them up online anywhere so was genuinely expecting a girl band because of the name. I still liked them though. <\/p>\n

Sharks were the same as they usually are. I’ve realised that I keep seeing Sharks when they’re supporting someone else. I don’t think I’d put the effort in to see them headline, but they’re ok.<\/p><\/div>\n
