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…
When one of the most innovative indie-rock bands of the last few decades comes to town, you’ve just got no option but to be there. Modest Mouse, joined by Chicago rockers Friko, sold out the Aztec Theatre playing all the hits that’ve made them so beloved in the scene over…
2015 was the year that I really fell in love with Star Wars. It was the year of The Force Awakens, a cinematic event that at that point I had never seen such a level of hype for. That opening night theatrical experience remains the most memorable time I’ve ever…

Silverstein has been making 25 years of noise yet I had never managed to see them live until now. I was one of the fortunate few in a sold-out crowd at the Vibes Event Center for their “25 Years of Noise Tour,” celebrating the longevity and the success the…
It’s not often that you get to see a band more than once in a year, but much less twice. After seeing this band open for A Day to Remember back in July, that’s exactly what I got to do with Four Year Strong when they stopped by the Paper…
A friend I was very close with back in 2018 put me on to Local Natives. I had never heard of this LA-based indie rock band but after showing me “Coins” and “I Saw You Close Your Eyes,” the catchy rhythms and smooth grooves instantly grabbed my attention. We listened…
Until his show at the Aztec Theatre was announced, I was not familiar with Ginger Root whatsoever. But, man, was I instantly intrigued by him as an artist after looking him up online. Not only did I hear so much vibrant, funky music but I was immediately drawn to the…
