Four bands, one night at the Sunshine, with Mustard Service bringing the Paradise Tour through Downtown on what is technically a Wednesday night given the 8:30 PM local start. The Sunshine's standing room floor rewards getting there early when a bill runs this deep, and four acts means the opener hits before most people have...
Two DJs, one late-night set at Insideout, running from what is effectively 9 p.m. Wednesday local time through 6 a.m. Thursday morning once you convert from UTC. Insideout is a small room on Central, which means the sound hits differently than it would in a warehouse, so expect it to feel immediate and a little...
Millionaire$ headlines this four-act bill at Launchpad, rolling through on their My Super Sweet 16 Tour with Davvn, Notions, and Slowburn in support. Launchpad's stage puts you close to the action in a way that bigger rooms can't replicate, and the local openers here are worth arriving early for. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket,...
An Albuquerque production company screens the pilot episode of Facing Scars, a drama about a amateur boxing champion rebuilding her life after escaping an abusive marriage, followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers. Every dollar from ticket sales goes directly to S.A.F.E. House, New Mexico's largest intimate-partner domestic violence shelter, because tickets are sold through...
Part of Painted Lady's Brews & Boos series, this is a ticketed evening of tarot readings with Triple Moon Bewitched in one of the more genuinely atmospheric rooms on the corridor. The Bed & Brew's interior does a lot of the heavy lifting here, the kind of space where this sort of thing doesn't feel...
Dexter and The Moonrocks are on the El Rey stage, one of the better mid-size rooms on the Central corridor for catching a band at close range. The Ticketmaster link is live, so this one is moving through a formal box office, which usually means the act has real production behind it. Worth grabbing tickets...
The Bad Plus, the piano trio that spent two decades rewriting the rules on what jazz could claim as its own, is wrapping up with this farewell run, and Outpost is exactly the right room to catch them. The space is a dedicated listening room, which means the crowd comes to pay attention, not to...
104.1 The Edge is sending Dexter and the Moonrocks through Albuquerque on the 12 Steps Tour, with High June opening at El Rey on Central. El Rey's long room can feel cavernous for a two-band bill, so arriving early puts you closer to the stage before the crowd fills in behind you. Tickets are through...
Three local acts share the Launchpad stage on a Thursday night, with Junkyard Butterfly closing out a bill that spans whatever territory Facing Allodox and Morningstar stake out before them. Launchpad's room rewards getting there early: the sound mix from the back half of the floor is noticeably better than crowding the stage. Tickets are...
RIOT ENT. closes out the night at Gaia's Kava Root with this late ticketed after party, running what amounts to the final hours before sunrise. Gaia's is a kava bar, so the drink situation is non-alcoholic by default, which either fits your night perfectly or explains why you should plan accordingly before you arrive. Tickets...
