Jordan Jonas brings whatever he does best to Painted Lady's Brews & Boos series, a recurring supernatural-themed night at one of the more quietly interesting spots on the corridor. Painted Lady runs as both a bed and breakfast and a bar, so the crowd on any given Sunday skews eclectic in ways a standard venue...
Foxtide takes the stage at Launchpad, one of the few rooms on Central that still books with genuine curatorial instinct. The show runs late, starting around 8 or 9 PM local, which means the room won't hit its real energy until well after most people have already talked themselves out of going. Tickets are through...
Albert Castiglia plays the kind of blues that doesn't sit still, built on years of touring with Junior Wells and a catalog that keeps getting harder and less polite. FUSION...
Triple-A baseball between the Albuquerque Isotopes and the Las Vegas Aviators, played under the lights at one of the best minor league parks in the Southwest. Isotopes Park sits right on the corridor and has a knack for delivering cool August evenings after brutal afternoons, so the 7:35 p.m. first pitch is timed better than...

Hatebreed has been one of the most consistent live acts in hardcore for nearly three decades, and their set is built around crowd participation in a way that actually means it. El Rey's floor is general admission and gets tight fast for a bill like this, so arriving early matters more than it usually would....
Six bands of hardcore and death metal anchored by Hatebreed, whose live show has been a reliable demolition derby for nearly three decades, with Terror and Incantation doing serious damage in the supporting slots. El Rey's room is compact enough that even the back wall is in the pit's splash zone, so plan accordingly. Doors...
