12:00 am NHCC National Hispanic Cultural Center Details
BEAUZ, the LA-based brother duo known for pushing hard techno into hypertechno territory, plays Effex, Albuquerque's longest-running LGBTQ nightclub and one of the few rooms on Central with a sound system actually built for this kind of punishment. The 9:00 PM start time on this listing is a placeholder, so check the ticket link before...
Wayne Hancock is the kind of Texas honky-tonk lifer who makes you wonder why anyone ever bothered complicating country music in the first place, and Launchpad's compact room puts you close enough to feel it. The event title references Juno Brewery, so confirm the venue before you go, because that detail in the listing suggests...
Five bands, one night, a metalcore bill with a beach party concept that is either absurd or perfect depending on your tolerance for humidity and breakdowns. Launchpad's stage-to-floor ratio keeps things close, so Vol. 4 will hit the way these shows are supposed to hit. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, which means will-call is...
In The Box Annex takes improv comedy into extraterrestrial territory with A51*, a short-form show built around the alien-conspiracy premise. The Box is a genuinely intimate black-box room where the audience is close enough to make eye contact with performers, which either thrills you or makes you want a back row that doesn't exist. At...
The Isotopes close out a late-summer homestand against Tacoma, the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate, in what tends to be one of the more competitive matchups on the Pacific Coast League schedule. September games at this park carry a particular feel: the crowds thin a little from midsummer peaks, the evenings cool off faster than you'd expect,...
This is a tablao-format flamenco show, meaning the performers work close to the audience in an intimate setting rather than across a proscenium stage, and that proximity is the whole point. Hotel Albuquerque's event space has genuine Southwestern character and keeps sightlines decent from most seats, so arriving early to pick your spot pays off....
A full-album spin of Cecil Taylor's 1979 recordings anchors this evening at Outpost, paired with a reception for Greg Tucker's Inpost work as part of the 20th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival. Outpost is a genuine listening room, which means the crowd tends to actually listen, so if you show up expecting background-music cocktail energy,...
Three bands share the Launchpad stage on a Wednesday night deep into the week, with Night Child headlining above Upon A Fields Whisper and Distances. Launchpad runs a tight ship on multi-band bills, so doors and set times tend to hold, which matters when the show wraps past 11 PM on a school night. Tickets...
William Parker is one of the most consequential bassists in free jazz, and this trio with Hamid Drake on drums and Cooper Moore on homemade instruments is about as serious as this music gets. Outpost is a small, acoustically honest room, which means nowhere to hide and nothing lost, a genuine advantage for a set...
Twin Temple performs their self-described Satanic doo-wop, a genuinely strange and committed act built around Alexandra and Zachary Twin's old-school vocal harmonies set against occult pageantry. The Sunshine's general admission floor gets intimate fast for a show like this, so arriving early puts you closer to whatever ritual they have planned. Tickets are through Hold...
