We better not hear any complaints about a lack of diversity in SA\u2019s live music offerings. Not after the city plays host this week to emo puppet group, a French DJ playing trip-hop and brass-fueled New Orleans institution providing a reason to get on down. <\/p>\n

Fragile Rock<\/p>\n

Punk emo puppets? Tell me more. It may be tempting to dismiss the Jim Henson-inspired puppet band Fragile Rock as a gimmick, but these puppets pack a punch and have even made their way into the national consciousness with an NPR \u201cTiny Desk\u201d concert. The nine-piece collective released its latest, aptly titled album Microfamous, last September. $12.21, 8 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., papertigersatx.com. \u2014 Danny Cervantes<\/p>\n

Dale Watson<\/p>\n

Honky-tonk icon Dale Watson will bring his greaser attitude and wry country wit to what seems to be his favorite watering hole in San Antone. Get yer boots on for a two-steppin\u2019 good time from a tight band and a pompadoured frontman who likes to spin a yarn or two. $26.38, 9 p.m., The Lonesome Rose, 2114 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., instagram.com\/thelonesomerose. \u2014 Stephanie Koithan<\/p>\n

Wax Tailor<\/p>\n

Wax Tailor is an electronica DJ, producer and general multi-hyphenate star who\u2019s coming to town to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut solo record, Tales of the Forgotten Melodies, which became a surprise hit both here and in his native France.\u00a0 It\u2019s classic early 2000s electronic trip-hop, combining samples, old film soundtrack vibes and a dusty aesthetic. $29, 8 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., papertigersatx.com.\u2014 Bill Baird<\/p>\n

Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas<\/p>\n

New Orleans\u2019 Dirty Dozen Brass Band are bringing the raucous Big Easy Vibes to the Alamo City. The award-winning group\u2019s infectious blend of blues, zydeco, soul and R&B has kept the spirit of brass bands alive over the decades. Since forming in the \u201970s, the ensemble has toured the world while releasing new material on its own and in collaboration with artists such as Elvis Costello, Norah Jones and Modest Mouse. Jazz is best experienced live, so this is a can\u2019t miss for fans of the genre. $30.93-$59.08, 8 p.m., Stable Hall, 307 Pearl Parkway,\u00a0stablehall.com. \u2014 DC<\/p>\n
