Pedro the Lion & John Vanderslice

Looking for a weekend concert in Dallas without the usual crowd? You know, the frat boys, the weightlifters and the vacant groupies. You're looking for a concert where people don't shove each other around or talk through a band's set. Normally, we'd laugh and tell you to find that in...

Looking for a weekend concert in Dallas without the usual crowd? You know, the frat boys, the weightlifters and the vacant groupies. You're looking for a concert where people don't shove each other around or talk through a band's set. Normally, we'd laugh and tell you to find that in Denton, but on Friday, you'll get your wish with less mileage as Trees hosts indie favorites Pedro the Lion and John Vanderslice.
