Hordes of PRB–guzzling music fans flocked to the SW waterfront’s post-industrial Zidell Yards this weekend for Project Pabst. The debut festival—a prototype for the brewery—went smoothly, with consistently punctual performers, manageable crowds, and $4 limited edition Pabst Blue Ribbon tall boys. The three-day, 42 band festival featured headlining sets from Tears For Fears and Modest Mouse as well as daytime lineups that included Shabazz Palaces, the Violent Femmes, Phosphorescent, and GZA.
