Penn’s Institute of Contemporary Art is having a “Free for All” event this evening featuring rad experimental duo Blues Control (a.k.a. Russ Waterhouse and Lea Cho). The pair weaves Waterhouse’s reverb-soaked, distorted blues riffs with Cho’s dark, muddy grooves creating some unapologetically nasty moments, but you’ll also find them floating through calmer waters revealing a taste of their ambient, new age-y alter-egos Watersports. The event will have Philly soft pretzels and refreshments, which I’m thinking will be free judging by its name. There will also be beer, but unfortunately, that will cost us. However, Waterhouse already gave me a heads up that the beers will be cheap, and admission is definitely FREE so we’ll have more money for cheap beers. Nice! It’s been a while since Blues Control have performed in Philly so take advantage of this "Free for All". Institue of Contemporary Art, 118 S. 36th St, 6:30pm, FREE, All Ages – Q.D. Tran
