Noen Nite plays Gaia's Kava Root, the kava bar tucked into the Central corridor near UNM that runs quieter and stranger than most rooms its size. The sourcing here is thin, so confirm the set time before you go, since a 3 a.m. UTC start converts to something late even by this neighborhood's standards. Tickets...
A late-night house party format event at The Lab At Stardust, running from 9 p.m. to nearly 1 a.m. local time on a Saturday into Sunday. The Lab tends to...
Three acts share the bill at Insideout on Central: Mango Cakes headlines, with Insideout and Angelina opening the night. The show starts at 9 p.m. local time, which puts the...
In the Box Annex is staging an improv-meets-cabaret mashup where the structure of a chorus line collides with the chaos of unscripted comedy, and the result is exactly as unpredictable...

This is an overnight electronic event running from what amounts to Saturday night into Sunday morning, with SNTA headlining a 360° format and ¥ŌKAI and SOSILKY in support. The 360°...

The Box is a small, close room where the performers can see your face when a scene goes sideways, which adds something you don't get in a bigger theater. Shows here tend to run tight,...
KodaStar Entertainment takes over Gaias Kava Root with a Y2K rave format, which means expect low-rise aesthetics, early-2000s club sounds, and probably a lot of frosted eyeshadow. Gaias is a kava bar by nature, so the crowd tends to run looser and friendlier than a standard nightclub, which either sounds great to you or it...
The Burque Jazz Bandits bring their local jazz thing to Sawmill Market, one of the more comfortable live-music setups on the corridor, where the food hall layout means you can...
