Crosstown Station is an exciting new music venue located at 1522 McGee St., Kansas City, Missouri. We are in the heart of downtown wedged between the Crossroads Arts District and all the new development of KC Live and the Sprint Center. Built from the ground up, Crosstown Station will be the place in Kansas City to see and hear your favorite bands. A true live music space cleverly designed so that everyone in the room has a perfect view of the stage, while also creating the perfect atmosphere to hangout and have a drink when the music stops. So what makes Crosstown Station different from those other bars with a stage in the corner? From the first day our focus has been to provide the best environment possible to put on a live concert. In the conception phase, we concluded that people want unobstructed views of the stage when they pay to see their favorite band. Simple right? People standing in back should be higher than those in the front. The stage should be elevated enough so that people can see all of the performers – even the drummers. All of these ideas brought us to our goal. Give our customers as many elements of a large-scale concert while maintaining the atmosphere of a smaller music club.
“The Billy Bats are a two-piece from Kansas, consisting of Jason Vivone on guitar and vocals, and Zach McCall on drums and vocals. As such, comparisons to the White Stripes seem inevitable. Indeed, a song like ‘Tangled’ could in fact be the Stripes. However, what stops them becoming mere copyists is that their Blues influences appear genuine. There’s an Elmore James feel to ‘Crash and Burn’, a Wolf vocal married to a Hooker boogie on ‘Subtle Nuance’, and a Robert Plant lustiness to ‘Kung Pow Chicken’. It’s fat, bassy music with plenty of space in it. They’ve retained the rhythm of the Blues form but dispensed with the histrionic guitar parts. What the Billy Bats have in their arsenal that gives them their own identity is a deadpan sense of humor, such as the ‘MSG is good for you’ chant in ‘Kung Pow Chicken’; the furtive development of a fledgling relationship in ‘Bed or Sofa’; or in the kookiness of love song ‘Sweet Pea’. It’s too adult and knowing to capture the teenage market the Stripes have, but for those with a taste for irony and off kilter Blues then you should find something to sink your teeth into here.”
