Every time I’ve seen B&T, they’ve been awesome. Last year’s hardcore cover set(s) were great. 

However, if you caught them at the pre-fest show at 1982, go see the Riot Before at the Double Down.

I’m not really that into this band, but it's 1 pm and it's an acoustic set, so screw it. Let's go see the band putting out the best Against Me records today.

I go back and forth with Coliseum. I go from barely remembering they exist to not being able to stop playing their records. Specifically, their newest full-length, House With a Curse. 

If Hot Water Music are playing all the old good stuff, I’d probably skip these guys, but I don’t think that will be the case.

Until Kid Dynamite and the Sleepy Time Trio were announced, Iron Chic was without question the band I most wanted to see. 

Not Like This is hands down my favorite release of 2010. 

Be here, don’t fuck this up.

POP PUNK! AGGHHHHH! 

I haven’t seen them before, but I’m sure they would be fun live.

Friday, 1 am at the Laboratory.

Last year 8 people watched these dudes, and now they’re closing out a venue. It's not “The Venue,” but still, nice move.

There is a “mystery band” playing at the same time as CTO at another venue, so there is a chance that, depending on how that mystery is, I’d miss at least part of these guys' set. But the times are 20 minutes off, so maybe I wouldn’t have to miss much.

If CTO mentions a “Sleep EP” that is “being recorded soon,” yell “WHEN?” at them. Less talk, more recording.

Unless you’re cooler than me and know about some secret warehouse, hotel set, or house party show by some band, this is probably the musical end of your Friday night. Go eat some Five-Star.

Mystery bands revealed. 

Missing this is fucking killing me. All conflicts are rendered nonexistent if STT is playing. You see them.  

I really hope if are goinng/went to Fest, you didn’t fuck this up.

“This song is for anyone who has ever or will ever be a woman.”

Don’t let the haircuts, short shorts and constant talk about gender/sexual politics between every song dissuade you, Rvivr is a must see.

 My wife loves her some Paul Baribeau. So last year, when she couldn’t make it down with me to Fest,  I asked Paul to make a sad face for a picture, and I sent it to her. She was pretty psyched, not “I saw her play live" psyched, but psyched nonetheless.

Initially, Spaynard was on my list as sort of a filler band. Someone whom I’ve heard but didn’t have any strong opinions about, either, and were playing during a dead spot in “my schedule.” But the more I listen to this, the more I think they are a band that should be made a point to see.

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.
