23 June 8 - 14, 2023 dallasobserver.com DALLAS OBSERVER Classified | MusiC | dish | Culture | unfair Park | Contents Re:SET Dallas 5 P.M., FRIDAY–SUNDAY, JUNE 9–11, TEXAS TRUST CU THEATRE, 1001 TEXAS TRUST WAY. $99.50+ AT AXS.COM The first big festival of the season, Re:SET Dallas kicks off Friday eve- ning. Unlike other festivals that stack the lineup from early afternoon to late evening, Re:SET will be skipping straight to the headliners with just four acts taking the stage each night. On Friday, indie-rock and hip-hop fusion artist Bartees Strange will kick the weekend off followed by bedroom pop artist Clairo, multi-instrumentalist Dijon and headliner, indie-rock supergroup boygenius (Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus). Saturday starts with a set from alt-pop singer Fousheé then chillwave artist Toro y Moi, electronic R&B producer James Blake and headliner, psychedelic soul musician Steve Lacy. Sunday will be a full day of headliners starting with rap- per Big Freedia, post-punk revival band Idles and producer Jamie XX, leading up to what is sure to be a mind-blowing set from alt-dance band LCD Soundsystem. DAVID FLETCHER Duran Duran 7 P.M., SATURDAY, JUNE 10, AMERICAN AIRLINES CENTER, 2500 VICTORY AVE. $28+ AT TICKETMASTER.COM A leading band in the second British Invasion of the 1980s, Duran Du- ran changed the face of dance music one video at a time on the bur- geoning MTV network. Before Duran Duran, most music videos were purely videos of a band playing a song, but when Duran Duran got a hold of the medium, they wanted their videos to have a cinematic quality. “Girls on Film,” “Rio” and “Hungry Like the Wolf” earned massive video play, launching the band into superstardom seemingly overnight. While Duran Duran has alway had something of a rotating cast of musicians, the lineup North Texas will see Saturday night will consist of original keyboardist and only consistent member of the band since the beginning Nick Rhodes, longtime singer Simon Le- Bon, original bassist John Taylor and drummer for nine of 15 Duran Duran albums Roger Taylor. Synth-pop band Bastille and funk leg- ends Nile Rodgers & Chic open the show. DF Djunah 7:30 P.M. SATURDAY, JUNE 10, RUBBER GLOVES, 411 E. SYCAMORE ST. $15 AT THE DOOR Djunah (pronounced JUNE-uh) is a noise-rock duo from Chicago fronted by singer, guitarist and bass organist Donna Diane. To see her perform all three duties at once onstage is nothing short of re- markable. In late-2019, Djunah released its first album, Ex Voto, the supporting tour for which was cut short just before its first date in Denton. Djunah is booked to play a headlining show in support of its outstanding new album, Femina Furens. Influenced as much by Victorian poetry as it is by heavy metal, the album de- tails Diane’s diagnosis and continuing recovery from complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). Through mythological imagery, the album explores themes of power and control. Djunah will be back in Denton for No Coast Fest 2023, but this time around it will have local support from Smothered and Hoaries. DF Violent J 7 P.M. MONDAY, JUNE 12, THE RAIL CLUB, 3101 JOYCE DR. $35 AT SEETICKETS.US One half of the infamous Insane Clown Posse, Violent J is embarking on a solo tour with longtime friends and collaborators Esham and Ouija Macc — a trio dubbed 3 Headed Monster. The rapper is touring in support of his fourth solo album, Bloody Sunday, as well as a col- laborative album the 3 Headed Monster just released titled, OBLIT- ERATION, which came out on June 1. Violent J is also a record producer, professional wrestler, actor, writer, director and founder of Psychopathic Records, which has arguably been one of the most suc-cessful DIY record labels since its foundation in 1991. The other half of Insane Clown Posse, Shaggy 2 Dope, will be making his own solo tour performance in support of his new album Professor Shaggs And the Quest For the Ultimate Groove this July at Trees. The 3 Headed Monster will have opening support from rappers Seenloc, For the En-emy and Gavyn Gunn. DF Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade 7 P.M. TUESDAY, JUNE 13, MUSIC HALL AT FAIR PARK, 909 FIRST AVE. $29.95+ AT TICKETMASTER.COM Best known as the founder, lead singer, bassist and primary song- writer of iconic alt-metal band Primus, Les Claypool has had his hands in so many projects it’s difficult to keep track. Not only has Claypool formed bands with the likes of Phish singer and guitarist Trey Anastasio (Oysterhead) and Sean Lennon (The Claypool Len- non Delirium), he has also contributed to music from Metallica, Death Grips and Tom Waits.
