Venues
These are places to see good shows in the area. Preference will be given to DIY spaces rather than bars and stuff, but I guess I can include those kinda places too.
1919 Hemphill
1919 Hemphill is Texas' longest-running DIY space. Volunteer run since October 2002, all money received at events goes to paying rent and bills, as well as out of town performers. There is a lending book and music library, a free store and a show and movie space upstairs. We have all ages shows, movies, art shows and other events.
J&J's Pizza
Denton's only really stable DIY venue, this place has been having shows for a billion years, even back when it was a Mr. Gatti's. The shows here are in the basement and upstairs is a pretty great pizza place! What could be better?
Phoenix Project
Phoenix Project Collective is an Unincorporated Non-Profit Association aiming to serve Dallas' progressive art and music scene, as well as promote health/well-being, solidarity, and education to our community. All Phoenix Project Collective events are organized and facilitated on a volunteer basis by our members in our Collective space. All monies accepted on behalf of the Phoenix Project Collective are used to sustain and improve our Collective Space and the community it serves.

Pizza House
1919 Hemphill's irresponsible little brother. A punk house next door to 1919 that has BYOB ragers in a room that's way too small. Sometimes there are cookouts out back during the shows too.
