Hot Water Music in Columbus

We went with our friends Alan and Bridget on a quick 24-hour road trip to see one of my favorite bands when I was in college, Hot Water Music. It's honestly been years since I listened to them regularly. I think they've put out more albums since I stopped listening to them than had back when I was super into them, but the concert was a blast and it's always good to get some hang time with good friends.

Quicksand was one of the openers and they were the real highlight for me. It made me wish I'd listen to them more when I was younger. They'll definitely be in my rotation for the foreseeable future. Also the bass player played a sick Fender Bass VI that made me want to buy one. I did a bit of research online yesterday and it turns out they make a Squire version that super affordable! I'm very much considering picking one up.

Here are a couple quick snaps from the show. I was standing far away, so they're not great quality.

We also ate at a pretty great restaurant called Kitchen Social. I would definitely recommend. The cheddar and scallion biscuits were diabolically good. All in all a really great, but short getaway. Looking forward to doing something similar again soon.
