Paper Tiger’s side stage was absolutely packed out for Vancouver-based band Meltt this past November 10th. These guys have this really fun indie rock with a psychedelic blend that I always fall for. I first heard them through a Spotify playlist recommendation, the song “Within You, Within Me,” and I…
Making their final stop on the U.S. leg of their “portals//polarities tour,” Night Tapes chose San Antonio of all places to close this trek and I’m so happy they did. They engulfed the main stage at Paper Tiger with every shade of blue imaginable, creating an incredible dream-pop atmosphere that…

There is truly no better way to spend a Saturday night in the Alamo City than soaking in some live Latin music. One of Mexico’s most legendary rock bands, Maná, came through town for a two-night run to open their Vivir Sin Aire Tour. I was at the second show…
Flatland Cavalry made their return to the legendary John T. Floore’s Country Store for not one but two nights, this time around. I first saw them last year at this same venue and it was even clear then that they’re one of the best bands bringing that Americana style to…
