Tonight on the corridor
Four bands deep into the progressive post-hardcore and math-rock end of things, with Hail The Sun and The Fall of Troy sharing a bill that would have broken Myspace in 2007 and still holds up fine now. El Rey is a standing-room floor situation with a sound system that rewards loud, technical music, which is...
A full tablao flamenco production, dancer, singer, and guitarist performing together in the intimate room at Hotel Albuquerque, timed to Balloon Fiesta week when the city is at its most crowded and its most festive. The tablao format seats you close enough that you can hear the footwork land, which changes the experience considerably compared...
Albuquerque gets the first night of a national grindcore run, with California's Trip to the Morgue (Wormholedeath Records, Napalm Death adjacency) headlining over Las Vegas touring partners Skeleton Crew and local openers Egregious 505 on Central Avenue. The Lobo's room rewards this kind of show, big enough to absorb the volume, old enough to have...
Halloween-themed stand-up comedy at one of the quirkier venues on Central, a brewpub that also happens to rent rooms, which means the crowd on any given night is a genuine...

The 1922 Nosferatu gets the full treatment here: bingo cards, DJ Fishbowl on the soundtrack, and cold beer in a building that was itself once a little creepy. Painted Lady...
Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque puts a full live flamenco company on stage inside Hotel Albuquerque, with dancers, a singer, and a guitarist performing together in a purpose-built tablao setting. Balloon Fiesta...
BIJOU, the Denver-based producer who built a following through relentless touring and a catalog that sits at the harder, grittier end of house music, plays Effex on a Saturday night....
k?d brings his layered, emotionally-driven take on future bass and melodic bass to Effex, one of the few Downtown rooms that can actually hold the low end these sets demand....
