I’ve been sitting at my computer for about an hour trying to figure out how to write about Los Lonely Boys, the Chicano soft-rockers from San Angelo. I’ve decided that there’s not much really to say about Los Lonely Boys so here’s the lyrics to “Heaven.” Vamonos! Save me from this prison Lord, help me…

San Antonio is making OK progress in closing the “digital divide” that frequently separates lower-income families from wealthier ones. Last year, nearly 83 percent of San Antonio households had broadband Internet connections, according to data released by the Brookings Institution, a D.C.-based public-policy think tank. That’s up from 71.5 percent in 2013, but still in…

Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke has apologized for an almost 30-year-old review of play he wrote as a Columbia University student in which he said the actresses’ “only qualifications seem to be their phenomenally large breasts and tight buttocks.” “I am ashamed of what I wrote and I apologize,” O’Rourke, a Democratic congressman from El Paso,…

Over the weekend, aspiring Senator Beto O’Rourke and Texas music icon Willie Nelson pulled together some friends for an Austin campaign rally — about 55,000 of them to be exact.

Not that we have any problem with the genre of contemporary Christian music – we know some of y’all like to get your Jesus on and that’s fine – we just don’t have a ton of big names coming through San Antonio (besides folks like rapper Lecrae, who’s music could easily pass for “non-Christian” music),…
What could be better than a swan dive into the asphalt? I don’t know, but the folks from (HED) P.E. might.

For the third year in a row we’re getting a healthy dose of spillover shows from Austin City Limits, which is pretty dope considering the radius clauses that have prevented any ACL artist from playing in SA during the Zilker Park festival up until two years ago. Live Nation’s controlling interest in C3 Presents may…
Considering Pinch Boil House & Bia Bar opened their doors without a sidewalk in sight and several months worth of constant construction down both streets that flank the restaurant, making it to a year is a pretty big effing deal. As such, Pinch will celebrate its anniversary with a crab boil on Saturday, September 29…
What a difference seven years makes. When I last reviewed Wicked in 2011, I opined that its darker subtexts—of xenophobia, racism, and populism—mirrored Europe’s darkest days, particularly of Germany’s post-Weimar era. The musical’s gravity, so to speak, seemed to me a product of the past. Au contraire. As the Wizard (terrifically played by Jason Graae)…

Few local bands have made the impact that Girl in a Coma has.

From touring…
The number of San Antonio jobs dipped from June to August, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, even though the city’s unemployment remained close to historic lows. One possible explanation: There aren’t enough workers to go around. Unable to fill some of their open positions, employers may have just spiked those jobs. Jobs declined…
San Antonio, I love you. And I love how you will never ever rent a moving truck, no matter how big the load may be. We’ve seen our fair share of ridiculously packed pickup trucks that have so much crap loaded that police just have to pull them over. Yesterday, on my drive home, I…
Republican incumbent Greg Abbott and Democratic nominee Lupe Valdez will go head-to-head tonight at their only scheduled debate before the November 6 election in their race for Texas governor.

Unless you have lived a troubled life, the words “spooky” and “romantic” don’t usually go together. But that’s the mood director Cary Fukunaga perfectly evokes in his 2011 interpretation of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. Fukanaga directed every stylish episode of the first (some say only) season of True Detective and his new Netflix series Maniac…
Don’t count Sen. John Cornyn among those swayed by Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony Thursday morning, according to tweets from CNN reporter Manu Raju.

Texans like to think of themselves as independent types adept at looking out for No. 1. But that may not extend to looking after our own finances.

As a high school senior near Houston, 17-year-old India Landry was expelled for refusing to stand during the pledge of allegiance.

Nearly half of white evangelical Christians sampled in a new national poll said Brett Kavanaugh should be confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court, even if the sexual assault charge by Christine Blasey Ford turns out to be true.

Bruh. We understand the hunger for Hot Cheetos – we’re San Antonio after all. There’s probably a study out there that says we eat more Hot Cheetos than anywhere else. We even got a joint here that serves them on pretty much all their dishes. But, Lil Xan, c’mon. Your real name is Diego Leanos…

Editor’s Note: The following is The Big Spoon, an opinion column on San Antonio’s food and drink scene. I hate restaurant inspection reports. OK, that’s not all the way true, because we need the reports, but I do hate what it means for society as a whole. I liken it to watching a train wreck.…
No one writes the soundtrack for dancing into a dark dystopian future better than Adam Lee Miller and Nicola Kuperus, better known as Adult.

Pro tip: Wear black.…

Austin-based rapper Abhi The Nomad is a refreshing sound in the greater sphere of hip-hop. While he definitely has an indie vibe, the production level combined with his high-caliber lyricism, songwriting and, well, dope-ass beats kinda feel like a new J. Cole in the making. Not that they have similar sounds – more like, the…
Editor’s Note: Jade Esteban Estrada is the writer of Glitter Political, a series of articles detailing San Antonio’s elections. About a minute into Sarah Tijerina’s My 7-Year Long Anti-Mexicana Remedy, one of the 28 short plays showcased in Better Butter, I start to wonder why the multidisciplinary artist didn’t give herself any lines. Instead, to…
Where to begin? Frank Capra’s It Happened One Night ended one era and began another. It was the last hurrah for saucy shenanigans that Hollywood’s Production Code cracked down on in 1934, and its success triggered the next decade’s worth of screwball comedies where strong, competitive women and men argued through wacky plots until the…
Republican Pete Flores’ recent upset victory in a Democrat-friendly state senate district wasn’t the kind of news Democrats wanted in advance of their much-anticipated blue wave.

The high for August 28 was 100. The low was 79.

OMG, y’all – what the fuck was up with summer? Can’t a bish just go for a bike ride around Southtown without fear of being asphyxiated by the hellfire that is San Antonio in the summer? There is something to say about standing outside in 90-degree heat compared to 105 whilst watching our favorite bands…
Perhaps biased as a fan of songs in minor keys and modes that vibrate with the feelings of longing, loss, despair and tragedy (I know, let’s cry about it already), but the sophomore effort from San Antonio’s Demitasse might be the best local album of the year. A side project of Buttercup’s Erik Sanden and…
Ever since he was a child in New Orleans, Troy Andrews, better known by his stage name Trombone Shorty, has been surrounded by jazz music. Dude began playing trombone at the age of four and has hardly looked back. It’s no wonder, given this long history, that Andrews has a reputation as one of the…
Here’s a tasty dish for local fans of experimental/industrial punk music. New York’s Uniform, at the top of the bill, is a duo that makes post-industrial rock with synths and programmed beats in place of a live rhythm section. The project, from two of Brooklyn’s contemporary punk masters, has what we might call a bedroom-industrial…

It ain’t easy being green – that’s the gimmick, in a sense, behind the blockbuster musical re-telling of The Wizard of Oz, one that refracts L. Frank Baum’s world through the sensibility of the green among us. Adapted from Gregory Maguire’s novel, Wicked features a tuneful – and dare I say pop-u-u-lar? – score by…
Houston-based, Port Arthur-born rapper Bun B has been taking the slow road in terms of musical output since 2010’s Trill OG, the third installment in a tight trilogy (see what he did there?) of solo albums.
