Caitlyn Lennon Thin Line Festival MARCH 23-27, FREE. MORE INFO AT THINLINE.US Taking place across just about every venue and movie house in downtown Denton over the span of five days, Thin Line Festival celebrates music and film, boasting an incredible line-up of docu- mentary films as well as local and national music acts. With over 50 documentaries and over 50 bands, what makes the festival even more in- credible is that it is 100% free to attend any of the concerts or films that catch your eye. Things kick off slowly with just a handful of concerts and films Wednesday and Thursday, but the fes- tival really heats up on Friday with shows at An- dy’s Bar, Rubber Gloves, Dan’s Silverleaf and the relatively new music venue The Gold Room. Some of North Texas’ best live acts will be in at- tendance, namely indie-rock band FIT and stoner-metal band Wooden Earth. There will also be new act Vidicon, which features mem- bers of Mind Spiders. DAVID FLETCHER Oliver Tree 7 P.M. THURSDAY, MARCH 24, AT THE FACTORY IN DEEP ELLUM, 2713 CANTON ST., $30+ AT AXS.COM Alternative hip-hop star Oliver Tree may have made his television debut in 2016, but the musi- cian’s career actually begins a few years earlier than that when the young artist began releasing dubstep music first under the name, Kryph, and then using his middle name, Tree. In 2013, Tree released both an EP and an independent full- length record before hanging up the dubstep and going back to school to study music tech- nology at the California Institute for the Arts. In 2017, Oliver Tree’s self-produced first single “When I’m Down” went viral, earning the singer a contract with Atlantic Records. Since coming into the public eye, Tree has been known for his comedic approach to music as well as his out- landish fashion sense. It is tempting to write Tree off as a novelty act at times, but as anyone can hear in the darker themes lying underneath the surface of his latest release Cowboy Tears, there is more art to Tree than schlock. DF Ministry 6 P.M. SATURDAY, MARCH 26, AT AMPLIFIED LIVE, 10261 TECHNOLOGY BLVD. E., $39.50+ AT EVENTBRITE.COM One of the pioneers of industrial metal in the late- 1980s, Ministry came to life as a synthpop band in Chicago’s underground music scene. Ministry’s first album, With Sympathy, was actually praised by Rolling Stone for its catchy dance tracks. The album has since been disowned by bandleader Al Jourgensen, who felt pressured by his record la- bel to match the then-popular sound of new wave. Ministry’s subsequent work would never again be so bright. By the time Ministry released The Land of Rape and Honey in 1988, the band’s sound had become darker, heavier and angrier, and it never went back. Last year, Ministry re- leased its 15th studio album, Moral Hygiene, which showed that time has done little to dampen the band’s harsh and combative sound. Speaking of harsh and combative sounds, Minis- try will have opening support from Corrosion of Conformity and Melvins. DF Beach House 7 P.M. SUNDAY, MARCH 27, AT THE FACTORY IN DEEP ELLUM, 2713 CANTON ST., $35+ AT AXS.COM Baltimore dream-pop duo Beach House had been just another indie band on the outskirts of obscurity for about five years before releas- ing the landmark album Teen Dream in 2010. The band’s debut on the Sub Pop record label, Teen Dream was met with universal acclaim, the single “Norway” was inescapable on inde- pendent radio stations and the album found its way onto every major music outlet’s year-end, best-of list. The album has gone on to be fea- tured on several “best of the 2010s” lists. While Teen Dream was certainly not Beach House’s last great album, none of the band’s subse- quent releases have quite captured the zeit- geist the way that album did, but give Beach House’s latest, Once Twice Melody, a little while to stew. The band’s grand, 18-song vision sprawls across two LPs divided into four chap- ters about love, beauty and sadness. Electric sitar player Ami Dang opens what is sure to be a magnificent show. DF Thievery Corporation 7 P.M. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, AT GRANADA THEATER, 3524 GREENVILLE AVE., $60 AT PREKINDLE.COM Washington D.C. residents Rob Garza and Eric Hilton began making electronic music together under the name, Thievery Corporation, in 1995. Their sound is eclectic, borrowing elements from genres as disparate as Indian classical and acid jazz. After founding the Eighteenth Street Lounge Music record label in 1996, Thievery Cor- poration remained a completely independent music duo ever since. Though the duo has incor- porated music from all over the world, Thievery Corporation has always had a special love for the bossa nova music coming out of Brazil in the ’60s and early ’70s, characterized by the works of João Gilberto and Tom Jobim. The music is downtempo and absolutely chill, moving seam- lessly between genres and with words flowing through several languages. This is certain to be a relaxed show with mellow vibes made to soothe restless spirits.
