Phat Camp This Weekend

As we mentioned earlier in the week, this Saturday's show at 715 Panhandle, which will be a part of the Denton DIY community's second annual Phat Camp weekend, will be the final event at the widely respected house venue, and whether you've been there dozens of times or never in your life, we highly recommend joining in the festivities and bidding farewell to a wonderful place.  

Over the past couple of years, 715 Panhandle has truly been one of the best places to see a show in the metro area, with its rare combination of typically stellar booking, a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, all ages admission, and free or extremely inexpensive covers (not to mention BYOB, of course).  This set of characteristics not only led to Panhandle hosting well regarded touring acts such as Blues Control, Kimya Dawson, Woods, Meneguar, Sex Vid, Total Abuse, Thomas Function, Psychedelic Horseshit, and others, but it also created the kind of environment where anyone in Denton could go to see stellar local acts such as Koji Kondo, Marked Men, Angry Businessmen, Wax Museums, Bad Sports, Teenage Cool Kids and more (a couple of whom will be reuniting for Saturday's show) in a welcoming environment that seemed to be relatively free of pretension, hardcore orthodoxy and negativity on almost any level.

Hopefully we'll have a little more on Panhandle for you later this week, but for now we thought we'd share the Phat Camp schedule with you and encourage you to check out 715 Panhandle one last time.  The place truly embodied the spirit of DIY done right :
