Trees on Elm Street and The Bomb Factory on Canton — whose stages supported the likes of Kurt Cobain and Radiohead before they were household names — were elemental to Dallas’ music scene in the 1990s. Now they are thriving again. Clint and Whitney Barlow re-opened Trees a few years ago, and more recently, The Bomb Factory, where opening week hosted Erykah Badu and The Toadies. It’s June, so you can catch rapper Tyler, The Creator at The Bomb Factory on the 5th or D’angelo — the R&B singer whose first album in 14 years, Black Messiah, has garnered a massive amount of buzz — on the 16th or blues/boogie/soul singer Benjamin Booker at Trees on the 9th.
