Hot Hot Heat Opens for Snow Patrol at the Bowl
One of the privileges of attending the big summer rock shows at the Bowl is getting a look at some of the hardest-working people in the music business-opening acts. Typically they are young, ambitious, and riding some considerable early success.

And, in the best cases, the urgency of the situation comes across in the performance, and you get the feeling that, for now at least, everything counts.
