    UNM AreaLate NightDetails

    Jahbabii and Badmon take the decks at Gaia's Kava Root for a late-night set that runs hip-hop, R&B, reggaeton, and trap, with a third DJ listed only as a surprise. Gaia's is a kava bar by day, which means the room skews sober-friendly and the crowd tends to be more about the music than the...

    Taylor Torrence, the Denver-based DJ whose melodic techno and progressive house sets have earned him a serious international following, takes over Effex for Mr. AfterHours Presents' SNTA 360° night.

    DowntownDance PartyTickets

    All Sick Burque brings a beach theme to one of Downtown's more reliably sweaty dance floors, with DJ Solita and Rissy trading sets from 10pm until the early hours of Sunday morning.

    Arizona metalcore headliners The Word Alive are running their Deceiver and Dark Matter Tour through Launchpad with three support acts filling out a bill that should run long. Launchpad's low ceiling and close-quarters floor make the heavy stuff hit harder than the room has any right to, which is either the appeal or the reason...

    Mary Gauthier is one of the more unsparing songwriters working in American roots music, the kind who writes about addiction, incarceration, and grief with enough craft that the songs feel like relief rather than punishment. FUSION | 708 is a small room on Central, which means you are close enough to watch her face, and...
