Florida’s Hot Water Music has been refining a brand of gravel-throated rock somewhere between punk and post-hardcore (or whatever you want to call it) for nearly 20 years now.
On Thursday, Feb. 7, they bring it to the best live music venue in Sac, Ace of Spades.
Led by guitarist and vocalist Chuck Ragan and featuring a very tight and complex rhythm section, HWM is touring behind 2012’s "Exister," their eighth studio album and first album of new material in eight years. A live album, “Live in Chicago,” was also released in late 2012.
Joining HWM on the bill are the indisputably excellent Grand Rapids, Mich., band La Dispute and The Menzingers, from Scranton, Pa.
The Menzingers’ "On the Impossible Past" was recently voted the number one album of 2012 by AbsolutePunk, Punknews.org, and Rock Sound.
Do yourself a favor and get there early for La Dispute and The Menzingers!
Tickets are $18 plus a $3.95 service fee. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and it’s an all ages show.
