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...
A horror-themed stand-up hour in the taproom of Painted Lady Bed & Brew, the only brewpub on the corridor where guests are literally sleeping upstairs during the show. One hour is a tight window for comedy, so expect a fast-moving set with little room for the slow-burn crowd work that needs a bigger stage and...
The Django Festival Allstars bring their hot jazz and gypsy swing tradition to Outpost Performance Space, one of the better-programmed rooms on the Central corridor, as part of the 20th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival. Outpost keeps sight lines good and sound dialed in, so this style of acoustic string-driven jazz lands the way it...
Three heavyweights of postwar blues harmonica and guitar share a stage for a CD release night at FUSION | 708, which puts this closer to a recording-session atmosphere than a standard bar gig. Anson Funderburgh has been one of the most respected Texas blues guitarists since the early eighties, and Junior Watson's phrasing is the...
