    Four years in, New Mexico Goth Fest has established itself as the one night Launchpad fully commits to the dark side, running past 2 a.m. with bands cycling through both the main room and the bar area.

  • Isotopes vs. Tacoma Rainiers

    Isotopes Park
    UNM AreacasualTickets

    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,...

    Felix Y Los Gatos brings their Latin-rooted sound to Sawmill Market's open food hall floor, where the acoustics are livelier than you'd expect from a space built around dining.

  • Tablao Flamenco Sunday Matinee

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    date nightTickets

    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,...

  • Night Child & Upon A Fields Whisper at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    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...
