Night Child & Upon A Fields Whisper at Launchpad
LaunchpadThree bands share the Launchpad stage on a Wednesday night deep into the week, with Night Child headlining above Upon A Fields Whisper and Distances. Launchpad runs a tight ship on multi-band bills, so doors and set times tend to hold, which matters when the show wraps past 11 PM on a school night. Tickets...

William Parker Trio at Outpost, Route 66 / UNM Area
Outpost Performance SpaceWilliam Parker is one of the most consequential bassists in free jazz, and this trio with Hamid Drake on drums and Cooper Moore on homemade instruments is about as serious as this music gets. Outpost is a small, acoustically honest room, which means nowhere to hide and nothing lost, a genuine advantage for a set...

Twin Temple at Sunshine Theater
Sunshine TheatreTwin Temple performs their self-described Satanic doo-wop, a genuinely strange and committed act built around Alexandra and Zachary Twin's old-school vocal harmonies set against occult pageantry. The Sunshine's general admission floor gets intimate fast for a show like this, so arriving early puts you closer to whatever ritual they have planned. Tickets are through Hold...

International Thursdays at Bourbon & Boots
Bourbon & BootsBourbon & Boots runs this one late, a rotating international music dance night that keeps going until 6 a.m. on a Friday morning, technically. That's not a typo, and if you're planning to show up around midnight thinking you're early, you're actually closer to the midpoint than the start.

One hour is a tight window for comedy, so expect a fast-moving set with little room for the slow-burn crowd work that needs a bigger stage and...

Django Festival Allstars at Outpost
Outpost Performance SpaceThe Django Festival Allstars bring their hot jazz and gypsy swing tradition to Outpost Performance Space, one of the better-programmed rooms on the Central corridor, as part of the 20th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival. Outpost keeps sight lines good and sound dialed in, so this style of acoustic string-driven jazz lands the way it...

Mark Hummel Blues CD Release
FUSION | 708Three heavyweights of postwar blues harmonica and guitar share a stage for a CD release night at FUSION | 708, which puts this closer to a recording-session atmosphere than a standard bar gig. Anson Funderburgh has been one of the most respected Texas blues guitarists since the early eighties, and Junior Watson's phrasing is the...

Alt Saus, Carita & More at Launchpad Downtown
LaunchpadFour local acts share the Launchpad stage on a Thursday that runs well past midnight, with Vox Femme, Rose Signet, Carita, and Alt Saus each getting their shot at a room that rewards bands willing to push a little. Launchpad's sound system is genuinely good for a club its size, so whatever these acts have...
