Bushwick's darlings Pass Kontrol played an amazing show on Friday night at the Bushwick Starr.The venue is located one block from the Jefferson stop on Starr Street. Keep an eye out though, the unassuming sign will allow you to walk right by it. Once inside the club, the space is generous and has ample seating right in front of the stage. Expect the usual, long lines to take a piss, etc...But the unexepted is the outdoor bar patio. There is an unusually large amount of space and the bartenders do a great job of keeping the $4 beers coming your way. The patio gets an A+.
After settling into the space and enjoying the ice cold beers - I was primed and perfectly buzzed to hear Pass Kontrol. They are a band I have not yet heard live and as a Bushwick transplant now this seemed unheard of. Pass Kontrol's sound is a perfect marriage of rock and pop that cradles itself in beautiful melodies. The band, obviously enjoying themselves, gave all of their rock blood at the Bushwick Starr and even found time to cover The Pixies' classic tune Where is My Mind. Danke Shein Pass Kontrol!
Opening acts were Pool of Frogs, Columbia and Lady Magma.
