Michigan band La Dispute bring their post-hardcore to Louisville Monday. Toeing the line between conventional emo and comparatively more progressive musical genres, singer Jordan Dreyer conveys angst and emotion without necessarily wearing it on his sleeve. Informed by bands like At the Drive In or Thursday, the band manages a fair dynamic both harmonically and tonally that, at times, is not only reminiscent of their influences, but of some of Louisville’s best and brightest. This show will mark the first date on the band’s impending tour with Florida act and No Sleep Records label mates Hot Water Music, who they will meet up with for the remainder of the tour after their Kentucky stop. Doors are at 7 p.m., and the show is all-ages. Make them feel welcome for the first show on their long tour. —Syd Bishop
