Three Bad Jacks bring their brand of outlaw-leaning rock to Launchpad, one of the corridor's most reliable small stages for loud guitar music. The show starts at 9 p.m. local time on a Sunday night, so plan accordingly if Monday morning has opinions about your weekend. Launchpad's room is narrow and the sound bounces hard...
Three acts on one bill at Launchpad, mid-week and late, which tells you something about the crowd that shows up: people who actually want to be there. Launchpad's long narrow room puts you close to the stage whether you want to be or not, and on a night this size that proximity usually works in...
glaive is one of the sharper names in the hyperpop-to-emo pipeline, a songwriter who writes about being young with enough specificity that it actually lands. The Sunshine holds around 900 standing, which means this will feel intimate if it undersells and chaotic in the best way if it sells through. Tiffany Day is worth showing...
Glaive, the North Carolina-bred hyperpop kid who was making music that sounded like a teenager's diary getting fed through a distortion pedal before he was old enough to vote, headlines the Sunshine with Tiffany Day and Kurtains on a bill titled God Save The Three. The Sunshine is one of the better mid-size rooms on...
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,...
