Sex Mex rolls through Downtown on the Stockpile Tour, hitting Launchpad on what is effectively a Tuesday night that starts after most people are already asleep. Launchpad's room rewards loud guitar bands, and the low ceiling does the work for you on a night like this. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them...
Joanne Shaw Taylor, the British guitarist who started playing professionally at 16 after Eurythmics' Dave Stewart heard her at a festival, brings her full-throated blues-rock to the KiMo on a Tuesday night. The KiMo's Pueblo Deco interior is genuinely one of the best rooms in the Southwest to see a player this good, because the...
REZN plays slow, heavy, and hypnotic, the kind of psych-doom that works best in a small room with a loud PA, and Launchpad's setup is actually built for it. Lowheaven and Nomestomper are solid local picks for this bill, not filler. This is a 10 PM show at minimum, so plan accordingly and get there...
Four local punk and indie acts share a Halloween bill at Insideout, running from 10 p.m. into the early hours of the 29th. Insideout is a small room, which means the sound hits hard and personal space is a negotiation, so go knowing that and embrace it. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab...
The night before Halloween, Triple Moon Bewitched sets up tarot readings inside Painted Lady Bed & Brew as part of the venue's Brews & Boos series, pairing craft beer with something a little harder to explain. Painted Lady is a small, genuinely weird space in the best way, so the atmosphere does a lot of...
Cradle of Filth's Majestic In Death II tour hits the Sunshine Theatre the night before Halloween, which means the crowd showing up for this one will be in full costume and already committed. The Sunshine holds around 800 and has a wide open floor, so you'll want to get there early if you care about...
The 1986 film plays on screen while a live orchestra performs the full score underneath it, Bowie songs and all, on Halloween night at one of the most theatrical rooms in New Mexico. The KiMo's 1927 Pueblo Deco interior is already a lot to take in, and a crowd dressed for Halloween watching David Bowie...
TourABQ's Halloween pedaler crawl puts a pack of costumed riders on a guided multi-stop bar route through the city on the night itself. The party bike format means you're moving between bars as a group, so this works best if you commit to the whole ride rather than planning to peel off early. Tickets are...
