Three DJs, one of them a last-minute-feeling 'special guest' wildcard, spinning a goth night at El Rey on a Friday that runs until 10 p.m. local time. El Rey's floor is genuinely good for dancing, the sound system carries low-end well, and the crowd at these nights tends to dress for the occasion, which raises...
JMSN is a Detroit-rooted R&B singer and producer who writes, records, and releases everything himself, which gives his live sets a rawness that polished label acts rarely manage. Sister is...
Unto Others brings their Portland gothic metal to Launchpad, the kind of band that sounds like they wrote the soundtrack to a city you never want to leave. Launchpad runs loud and the room rewards bands with dynamics, which Unto Others have in abundance. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them before the...
All Shall Perish are touring the twentieth anniversary of 'The Price of Existence,' the 2006 deathcore record that a significant portion of this genre's current practitioners grew up on, and Carnifex is no afterthought of a support act. Sunshine's floor can get genuinely punishing on a bill like this, so mind your position near the...

The festival pass structure means you're buying into the whole run, which is the right call if you've done this before, because individual nights tend...
Levi Platero, one of the most technically serious blues guitarists working out of New Mexico right now, leads a rotating cast of guests through an SRV birthday tribute at FUSION...
Night two of Launchpad's annual Halloween-season cover band marathon, running late into a Saturday night on Central with multiple acts cycling through the main stage. Launchpad keeps the volume high and the room dark, which suits this kind of night well, though the floor gets tight once the later bands draw a crowd. Tickets are...
El Rey's White Lies Party is a late-night themed event on a Saturday, the kind of night that leans hard into costume, persona, and whatever social fiction you feel like maintaining. The El Rey floor gets warm fast when it's packed, so dress for the vibe but plan for the heat. Tickets are through Hold...
The traffic light format is exactly what it sounds like: wear green if you're available, red if you're not, yellow if you're somewhere in between, and let the color do the talking for the rest of the night. El Rey's layout works well for this kind of social event, with enough room to circulate but...
