    UNM AreadanceDetails

    Kappa Sigma and Riot Entertainment take over Gaia's Kava Root for a welcome-back-to-campus party built around one dress code requirement: wear a jersey. Gaia's is a kava bar by default, so the crowd skews sober-friendly even when things get loud, which is worth knowing if that changes your calculus. Tickets are linked through an Instagram...

    César Bauvallet runs a Monday night Latin music class at Outpost through the summer, a recurring series for people who want to actually learn something rather than just watch.

    The Queers have been playing fast, funny, three-chord pop-punk since the mid-80s and they still mean it, which is more than you can say for most acts with that kind of tenure. Launchpad is a narrow room and the stage sits low, so this will be loud and close in the way that either delights...
