I honestly haven't been to see any bands since I've been here. No money and a broken foot will do that!
From what I hear, go to Deep Ellum in Dallas. It's a neighborhood, I guess. On Elm Street. That's where all the bands play? But I hear it's dying out. And then Denton is supposed to be rockin'. Fair To Midlan is out of Denton. Plus it's a college town. And I think I heard Arlington but I could be wrong.
When you head over this way I'll do some research for you!
And that goes for all the bands, btw!!!
