THE DEN10

The traffic got a little lighter this week. Our already sleepy town got a little sleepier and then with the heat, sleepier still. After spending an hour staring into the sun at the Denton Creatives Mixer on Monday, you're probably ready to not really leave the house until the sun's down. It's time to start finding those apartment pools to sneak into for late night swimming and drinking warm PBR's. It's time for chili cook-offs, Fourth of July plans and vacations near the water. There's the way the sun hits the square in the summer that makes it smell like even the dust is getting a sunburn. Somehow that's just a reminder that summer is here and it's not going away until the town gets flooded with fresh young faces clad in the latest Urban Outfitter's catalog - who heard that Denton had a really great "scene", who are "really excited about classes" and have adorable questions like "what's your major?". As inevitable as all that is, the only thing there really is to wrap your head around is how to fully, and slowly, soak up the very unique Denton Summer experience. Time to start making plans.

This is our type of fest am I right? Dollar tacos, vegan tacos, raffles, a mustache seesaw, rad games and activities and - oh yeah, 2 stages of bands playing into the wee hours of the morn. There will also be a first aid kit on standby which is good because some people say "safety first" but I say "safety always".

THE DEN10

Election day, Graduation, Mothers Day, Blog Relaunching and Elvis on The Square (yes this is a real thing) are a great way to wrap up a semester am I right? With so much to do it will be a good way to learn how to multitask. Stay hydrated and warm up a little before you get out there to prevent injury and make sure to be safe and look both ways before crossing Oak St. and start gearing up for what is promising to be a very eventful Summer Break. Start planning those impromptu trips to the lake for cliff jumping, sailing, swimming and picnics on the beach because you've only got till August to squeeze in all the ingredients for the most perfect and greatest Summer ever.

Don't confuse his "roots" label for the watered down pretenders that are so common on today's "indie" circuit (kill me now please). This man lives it and breathes it and will speak as effortlessly about rare 78's and hard to find field recordings as he can about Plato's Theory of the Forms. In short, this man is the purest of gems.

Saturday May 11
The We Denton Do It Election Launch Party | 109 Industrial St. (next door to Dan's) | 7-10PM | FREE

The aptly named BBQ supplier, Meat Guns and our favorite local brewer Armadillo Ale Works will be providing free food and libations while it lasts.

THE DEN10

Can it just be summer already? Wearing a sweater in May just seems unnatural. It's about as odd as Mr. Rogers trying to moonwalk. At any rate, don't forget to get out there and hit the square this weekend, there's a bunch of stuff happening.

---

Thursday May 2

Twilight Tunes Sponsored by The Denton Community Market | Courthouse Lawn | 6:30 | FREE
Known to square dwellers as "the night of the week during the summer when you have to park a mile away". Well that's because this award winning music series hosted by our own award winning Denton Main Street Association is a pretty incredible and successful grass roots effort that for better or worse defines our town. Music on the square. How much more Denton can you get? Tonight's offering comes from Los Patos Poderosos and weather permitting, a bounce house. Go for the Chicha, stay for the bounce house.

​"Recueerdos" A Night Of The Arts Honoring The Music and Culture of Cenobio Hernandez | Greater Denton Arts Council | 6:30PM | FREE

Drink & Think: REM | 322 Texas St. | 9PM | FREE
Some local and industrious film folks decided to make a feature length movie (REM the movie, not the movie about the band) and they're needing the scratch to finish. Please be advised this is not a Drink & Think focused on the work and influence of the American pop band R.E.M. Although that's not a bad idea for a future Drink & Think. Kevin Roden hosts this discussion adequately socially lubricated in his beautiful Texas street home. Hey Kevin, is your new kegerator up and running? Well you better go and catch it. Thanks folks, I'm here all week. Show again at 9.

Free Comic Book Day | Your favorite local comic store | until supplies run out | FREE​
Remember Record Store Day a few weeks ago? Well, this is like that except you go to the comic book store instead and they give you free stuff! Keep in mind that these events aren't just to help you score free/rare stuff, but to help promote your local suppliers of goods that you dig. With that in mind, go ahead and make a purchase in addition to the free stuff you're picking up. The free books look pretty interesting this year and we've heard that new Ultron storyline in the Marvel books is good, but if you've never read Y: The Last Man, maybe go with that. 

Sunday May 5

Denton Cinco de Mayo | Quakertown Park | 10AM | FREE
There's something about how the square can just shutdown for a parade and that is something we can definitely get behind. Don't be the guy checking the date on his phone when the Mexican cultural festivities roll through downtown this Sunday. Bring the little ones out to this as the main theme (beside the obvious) seems to be the throwing of candy at children. Also keep an eye out for J&J's potbelly pig - cause that's also a thing.

Since we all basically witnessed the season finale of America play out last week I think it's time for everyone to please, pretty please, I beg of you for everything that is holy on this planet, TONE IT DOWN A NOTCH. I mean really, folks. Let's show Steve Cropper, Japanese drone lords Boris, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Swedish Freakout artists GOAT and all the other folks from around the world visiting our tiny hamlet this weekend that Denton, Texas is full of kind, decent, polite, talented, level-headed folks. Please be safe and vigilant, and if we could please just simmer down a little - that would be great. Lets have a nice and relaxing weekend full of music, friends and fried foods and a chicken dance. It's the way John B. Denton would have wanted it.

Was that a camel I just saw hanging out on 288 in front of a red and white striped tent by the Tractor Supply Store? Yes it was.

After riding the camel, stop into the petting zoo and check out the ostriches and the zebra.

Sunday April 28​
Denton Art's & Jazz | Quakertown Park | 11AM - 9PM | FREE

Monday April 29​
GOAT / Holy Wave / Strange Towers | Dan's | 9PM | $10 / $13

THE DEN10: APRIL 17

It's going to be a beautiful weekend, y'all.  Hang on tight to the folks you love and get out there and make it count. 

---

Wednesday April 17
Hayes Carll / Warren Hood And The Goods | Dan's Silverleafd | 8PM | $25
The relatively youngish Hayes is quickly making a name for himself as one of the top Texas songwriters. Although his popularity has probably outgrown the space, his love of Dan's and the meticulously curated haphazard atmosphere (thanks to Dan himself) keeps him coming back.

Tartufi / Midnite Society / Curvette | Andy's | 9PM | Free
A wonderfully rounded out touring show (Tartufi hails from San Fransisco) at Andy's on a Wednesday. Plus it's free so no there's not much of an excuse not to go but we'll understand if you sneak up to Paschall Bar to use the bathroom.​

6th Annual Redbud Festival | Denton Civic Center | 10AM | Free

6th Annual Beanstock | Cool Beans | 12PM | $10
​The naming of this event is right up our alley. Somehow it works and is so good and so bad at the same time. There's a great list of bands playing this mostly all day event so don't let the cover scare you off.

THE DEN10: APRIL 10

I get it. You just spent all your rent money to go see Sigur Rós Tuesday night with the rest of Denton - and the curtain projections were amazing, and the band was "killing it," and you were in the pit, and you cried a little during that one song that reminded you of that one time that everything was right with the world and, then laughed a little when the girl wouldn't stop screaming "I LOVE YOU JONSI," and then cried a little again because the strobes were brighter than the sun, and it was the greatest thing you've ever seen or will ever see in all the world EVER. I get that. So let me welcome you back to the very non-Icelandic world of Denton where you can continue to see bands "kill it" all week (as in please kill me now if I ever hear that phrase again). In fact, lets make a pact right now: bands shall not be referred to as "killing it" ever again because trust me they aren't. When the poop hits the fan and the killing actually begins, my bet is that whatever musicians you thought were "killing it" will actually be the first ones to go. I mean of course unless they are like really, really, REALLY killing it, like Sigur Rós killed it on Tuesday.

Bike Ride / Easter Egg Hunt | Oak St. Drafthouse | 1pm | FREE
This is literally a "bike ride / easter egg" hunt. You ride a bike to a location, you hunt for eggs, you ride a bike to another location, etc. In said eggs will be prizes like cash and coupons for Oak St. paraphernalia. The only way it could get more entertaining is if the chance of thunderstorm predicted for the day happens in which I doubt will do much to stifle enthusiastic egg hunters of this adult twist on an Easter tradition.

Opening Day: Rangers vs. Astros | 7pm
A prefect way to wrap up an Easter weekend: the first inter-league match-up between these two as the Astros have joined the AL West. For just a moment, let your hatred turn to ambivalence for that center-fielder guy who we no longer have to pretend is a decent human --  oh, what was his name again?

Tuesday April 2
Caveman / Pure Bathing Culture / Robert Gomez | Dan's Silverleaf | 8pm

There's something about a late chill that makes me want to bundle up and get out there to check out what our tiny hamlet in North Texas has to offer. This week we've got a handful of picks to satisfy  that urge.

Caravan Of Thieves | Dan's Silverleaf | 8pm | $7

Paul Slavens & Friends | Dan's Silverleaf | 10pm | FREE
It's good to see Denton's elder statesman of improv-songwriting back at Dan's. If you haven't seen it, are you really a dentonite? When it's working it can whip the room into a frenzy and when not, it can make you consider why you even get out of bed in the mornings. Always surrounding himself with the towns top musicians, Slavens offering, for better or worse is always a spectacle.

Wednesday March 27
Dentonradio.com Night | Dan's Silverleaf | 8pm | FREE
Featuring Mockingbyrd Station, Levi Cobb and the Big Smoke and Eilee Morris.

The Denton Spoken Word Collective | Rubbergloves | 9pm | FREE
Oh my dear spoken word. How curiously redundant and ambiguous art thou. She was a thief, you gotta belief. She stole my heart and my cat. Might be worth checking out if not only for the probably entertaining side commentary from newly enthroned, full-time talent buyer / bartender, Scott Porter.
