I guess you weren't around when Red Blood Club was alive. Best punk venue that's ever been around in DFW. Punk shows still go on, just very underground now. Phoenix Project and a few other more rockabilly dives host shows, but I am more into the skater crowd so skateparks are big venues too. All hail 80's hardcore punk and Russian punk like Dr.Know and V3anus!

If I had to choose a favorite place, it would probably be the Scat Jazz Lounge in Ft Worth or the Palladium Ballroom for the heavier music. I am a little out of touch on the local music scene these days though lol
