Updated daily. Set times move, call the venue when it matters.
Authority Zero has been grinding the punk-reggae circuit for over two decades, and they still play like they have something to prove, which works in a room like Launchpad where the floor gets loud fast. Four bands on a Wednesday-night ticket means this starts early and moves quick, so arriving late risks missing the local...
Quantum Lifestyle Enterprises is bringing a Greek-life step show and block party to a cluster of Downtown corridor venues, including Rhythm Room, The Library Bar, Bourbon and Boots, and The Vibe. Multi-venue events like this tend to have a pulse that single-room shows can't replicate, but they also reward people who arrive knowing which room...
UNM takes on North Dakota State at University Stadium, a matchup that puts a Mountain West program against one of the most decorated FCS teams in the country. NDSU has made a habit of embarrassing FBS opponents on the road, so the Lobos will need a full house behind them. Tickets are through Ticketmaster, and...
A Moscow-based ensemble of roughly 15 musicians performing note-for-note recreations of Chicago's catalog, horn charts and all, is a stranger premise than it sounds, and a more convincing one than most tribute acts manage. Kiva Auditorium seats around 2,000, which is large enough for the brass section to breathe but intimate enough that you're never...
Sunn O))) does not play concerts so much as conduct low-frequency rituals, robes and all, at volumes that migrate somewhere between your chest and your spine. El Rey is a good-sized room but the sound bounces off those walls in ways that make the drone land harder than you might expect. Earplugs are not ironic...
A seated flamenco show in the tablao format, meaning performers work close to the audience in a room built for exactly this, not a theater stage at a distance. Hotel Albuquerque's venue on Central pulls this off with actual sightlines and decent acoustics, which matters when you're watching footwork. Specific performers haven't been announced yet,...
Seven local bands each pick a different act and commit fully for one night: Dakota Ave as The Used, Alter Apex as Stone Temple Pilots, No Manners as Metric, Dust City Opera as Beck, JIR Project as Gap Band, Weedrat as Title Fight, and Oakvale as Sheryl Crow. The range here is genuinely strange in...
Chris Duarte is a Austin-bred blues-rock guitarist who has been bending strings at the harder end of the Stevie Ray Vaughan tradition for thirty-plus years, and he still plays like he has something to prove. The Cell is a small room, which means you are close enough to watch his picking hand, and that is...
Jordan Jonas leads this one-hour magic and occult experience at one of the corridor's more atmospheric spots, a bed-and-brew that already leans gothic without trying. The Brews & Boos series has been building toward Halloween, so this is closer to a late-October ritual than a casual Friday night out. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket,...
Sunn O))) does not play songs so much as generate pressure fronts, and a room like El Rey, with its low ceiling and decent acoustics, is going to make this physical in ways that will surprise people who only know the records. Gentry Densley, the Utah guitarist behind Iceburn and Eagles of Death Metal's early...
