Paradigm shift

Although SN&R isn’t presenting the summer concert series in Cesar Chavez Plaza, this year’s lineup delivers on all fronts (and then some). Fans of the pop-alternative band Paradigm will be happy to know it’s finally releasing the long-awaited Thirty Stories High. Of course, the CD isn’t quite finished yet, so Paradigm’s fans must be appeased by a free (yes, free) live show. After playing countless colleges and live-music venues across the greater United States, the band has seen its fan base and sound grow exponentially, for the better. If Standing In Line, the band’s first proper release, was any indication of things to come in the near future, Paradigm should have no problem selling its new material to the masses. If you’re a fan of Sarah McLachlan, Jem, Anna Nalick or any of the Nettwerk-managed artists, you owe it to yourself to show up. Paradigm plays Cesar Chavez Plaza on Friday, June 3. The show starts at 5:30 p.m., and Paradigm plays promptly at 7:30 p.m.
