    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    505 Junglist is back with a six-DJ drum and bass showcase, putting Syndicrypt, Halfblud, MS Vicious, DNDY, MYDNYTE, and Jayzo G on the same bill at Insideout. This is Albuquerque's most consistent jungle and DnB crew doing what they do on home turf, and the room at Insideout is small enough that the bass actually...

    Four local and regional heavy bands stack a Friday night at the Mezzanine, which sits above El Rey's main floor and runs tighter and louder than most rooms its size....

  • DANSYN at Effex Nightclub

    Effex
    DowntownclubTickets

    Mr. AfterHours Presents drops DANSYN into Effex for a WHF 360° night, which means the production gets the full room treatment rather than a stage-and-crowd setup. Effex runs late and the crowd arrives later, so if you show up before midnight you will be standing in a very different room than the one this is...

    Trio Carillo takes the Old Town Gazebo stage for an open-air evening set in one of Albuquerque's most recognizable outdoor spaces. The gazebo's plaza acoustics are naturally lively, so arrive early if you want a spot close enough to hear the detail in the playing rather than just the wash of it. Admission details aren't...

    Vohn Vocs takes the stage at Sawmill Market for a Saturday evening set inside one of the corridor's more reliably pleasant food-hall environments. The open layout there means sound bleeds...

  • Alex Maryol Live at Marble Brewery Downtown

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownbar sceneDetails

    Alex Maryol is one of those New Mexico guitar players who has been at this long enough that the blues he plays feels lived-in rather than performed. Marble's downtown patio carries sound well on summer nights, but the indoor bar fills up fast once the set starts, so arriving early gets you a better spot...

  • Ship Wrek Block Party

    Hollow Spirits Distillery
    Downtownblock partyTickets

    Ship Wrek, the Canadian electronic duo with a following that tends to show up in force, headlines this outdoor block party running from 10:30 PM to 6 AM on 1st Street in front of Hollow Spirits Distillery. The street closure format means this spills well past the distillery's usual footprint, which changes the crowd density...

  • Beer & Jazz on the Hill

    Bosque Brewing Nob Hill
    Nob HilljazzDetails

    Two distinct Albuquerque jazz acts on one bill: EQNX Jazztet opens at 5pm and Basilaris Trio closes things out at 8pm, which makes this an early evening rather than a late-night affair despite how it reads on the calendar. Tractor's Nob Hill patio is one of the better outdoor listening spots on this stretch of...

    Triple-A Pacific Coast League ball between the Isotopes and the Round Rock Express, a Texas League rival with a roster that tends to cycle interesting prospects through. Isotopes Park sits right on Central and has one of the better sightlines in minor league baseball, plus the altitude here does things to fly balls that never...
