Warm weather seems to always beget more house shows. In order to keep track of all the scenes and sub-scenes that will surely spawn over the next few months, invite us to your event or email us a link so we know it’s happening. We always like going to house shows. Especially the ones that don't have minors drinking and get busted. Those aren't really our scene. We do our best to stay informed, but we can't know everything and we rely on you to give us some help sometimes. Especially because things are about to be very busy for someone until May 10th (see the Denia candidate forum below).

Game Night! | Rubbergloves | 10PM
Like playing games? Well have we got an event for you. What type of games are played? Who goes to this? We want pics and full reports. Let us know because we’re busy getting caught up on gen. 1 Pokemon.
Raised Right Men | Dan’s Silverleaf | 10PM
I haven’t been to this but judging on the folks playing the music it’s a pretty safe bet that this is probably the best thing happening in Denton whenever it’s happening.

Armadillo Ale Works Release Brunch Money & 1 Year Anniversary | Oak St. Draft House | 6PM
Has it really been a year? Well, Happy Birthday! Let’s raise our glasses and toast the third release from our favorite local brewers. We're also super happy with the name of this new brew. Keep it up and lets figure out how to move your brewing operations into Denton! Be careful, though. Craft brews often have a higher ABV than other beers so watch your intake!
Troller / Pinkish Black / Marie Davidson / Knifight | Rubbergloves | 9PM | $6
This is an “earplug” show. As we get older we realize that getting home from a show not smelling like smoke and our hearing mostly intact is a pretty good evening. It’s the simple things, y’all.
Atrium | Denton Community Theatre | $15
We've been hearing lots of good things about this play written by local playwright Michael Mulder. It apparently deals with mental issues and has lots of adult themes which we always like seeing in plays at DCT. It's showing this weekend only. Buy tickets here.

Denton’s Great American Cleanup | Civic Center | 9AM - 1PM
Show up at the Civic Center at 321 E. Mckinney at 9AM this Saturday and volunteer to help cleanup Denton for a day. This is a citywide cleanup involving over a thousand volunteers. In it’s 23rd year now, an estimated 2 million pounds of litter has been removed through this volunteer event.
Kraken Presents: David Tomas Martinez, Kristin Kostick, Alex Lemon & Chad Davidson | Paschall Bar | 6PM
Here’s a literary event for you brainy type of folks. Turns out, there’s a lot of you in Denton which is why we’ve got cool events like this in cool bar’s like Paschall’s.
Danny Rush & The DD’s / Loves It! / Hares On The Mountain / Sydney Wright | 2014 Northwood Terrace | 8PM
It’s about the right time of year you see the house shows start to pick up. Will this be a regular house for shows, Burton? Let us know and keep us posted.
Chris Watson | Dan’s Silverleaf | 9PM | $10
Straight up SRV’ish blues. If you’re into that you’ll be into this.
