Ever driven eastbound on Elm Street until it hits the dead end? Then chances are you've seen the It'll Do Club. Shrouded in the long-forgotten East Ellum neighborhood, this club opening marks another step in Deep Ellum's expansion.

TV Girl
Thursday, June 14 at Dada
Los Angeles pop group TV Girl used one of rock and roll's greatest new tools to fund the tour that will bring them to Dallas tonight and Denton on Friday. They successfully raised $5,000 on Kickstarter to go towards a van for this tour. Also, it's enough for each member to have a steak dinner every night of the tour. Spook Easy and Blackstone Rangers open.

Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
