If anybody\u2019s looking for a post-holiday hootenanny, San Antonio\u2019s got the makings. Let\u2019s run down the weekend\u2019s live music options. <\/p>\n

Friday, Dec. 26<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hawks (of holy rosary), HoneyBunny<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hawks have been plying their San Antonio garage-pop for a good minute now, and have toured with Dr. Dog, if that gives any indication of what to expect. This is a band that specializes in rootsy indie-rock with a wild streak and a distinct Alamo City flavor. HoneyBunny, meanwhile, is a newer group on the rise, having just played at the locally renowned Wizard Rodeo. They bring a refreshing female-fronted energy to their take on raucous garage rock. $10, 9 p.m., Lonesome Rose, 2114 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 455-0233, thelonesomerosesa.com. \u2014 Bill Baird<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Last Bandoleros<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tex-Mex rockers the Last Bandoleros made mainstream headway thanks to tours with Sting and a major label push from Warner Music Nashville. The SA-originated group, founded by Diego and Emilio Navaira \u2014\u00a0sons of late Tejano legend Emilio Navaira \u2014\u00a0and their friend Jerry Fuentes are back together after a hiatus and sharing their South Texas-based sound with the wider world. $10, 8:30 p.m., Sam\u2019s Burger Joint, 330 E. Grayson St., (210) 223-2830, samsburgerjoint.com. \u2014BB<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Toadies, Jaret Ray Reddick<\/strong><\/p>\n

North Texas alt-rockers the Toadies are back for their annual December pilgrimage down I-35. Some 30 years after the band\u2019s breakthrough \u201cPossum Kingdom\u201d pierced the college rock bubble into heavy MTV airplay, Todd Lewis\u2019 vocals still cut through the guitar-forward sound and the band\u2019s defining album Rubberneck continues to strike a chord with fans. $45-$118.50, 8 p.m., Aztec Theatre, 104 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 812-4355, theaztectheatre.com.\u00a0 \u2014 Danny Cervantes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chaparelle <\/strong><\/p>\n

Catchy male-female duo Chaparelle seems tailor\u2013<\/strong>made for the resurgent interest in classic country-inspired sounds. The voices of Jesse Woods and Zella Day remind one of Lee Hazlewood\u2019s best collaborations or even the duets of George and Tammy. Day\u2019s previous incarnation was more in the straight pop vein, including major-label deals, duets with Lana Del Rey and millions of social media followers. Meanwhile, Woods has carved an impressive path in the world of underground Americana and soundtracked a few beer commercials.\u00a0 Together, they constitute a catchy Americana throwback package. $30, 8 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., papertigersatx.com. \u2014 BB<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kitten Mitten<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though new on the scene,San Antonio\u2019s woman-fronted Kitten Mitten has turned heads with a moving, emotive indie-rock sound. Seems like Echo Bridge, whose echoes add an emotional depth and resonance, would be a great place to check them out. $20, 5 p.m., Echo Bridge, 310 Riverside Drive, instagram.com\/echobridgeappreciationsociety. \u2014 BB\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
