    Downtownworld musicDetails

    Bourbon & Boots runs its weekly international music night here, which on the calendar lands as a Thursday but in practice is a very early Friday morning, running from roughly 8 p.m. local time into the pre-dawn hours. This is a late dance floor crowd, not a casual-drink-and-leave situation, so go in knowing the room...

  • Horror Comedy Night at Painted Lady

    Painted Lady Bed & Brew
    Wells Parkbar & breweryTickets

    The Brews & Boos series at Painted Lady Bed & Brew brings a horror-comedy standup hour to their Central Avenue taproom, leaning into the campy premise rather than treating it as a gimmick. The room is small and the setting is a working inn, so the audience tends to be a mix of overnight guests...

    A late-night garden party at Insideout, one of the more reliably interesting rooms on Central, running from 8 PM well past midnight.

The Rhythm Room is a small room, which...

  • Indie Sleaze Nite at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    DowntownDJ setTickets

    Two DJs spin the greasy, eyeliner-heavy crossover zone where indie rock and early-2000s sleaze collide, the kind of set list that moves between Yeah Yeah Yeahs and something you forgot you loved. Launchpad's long room rewards this format: the sound system carries well toward the back, so you don't have to fight the front to...

  • Ay, Compadre at the NHCC Barelas

    Barelasdate nightDetails

    Sandia Performing Arts brings Rudolfo Anaya's two-act comedy to the Wells Fargo Auditorium, following a pair of New Mexico compadres and their wives through the awkward, tender territory of middle age. Anaya wrote this one with more laughs than his heavier work, but the emotional undertow is still there, and a live Albuquerque audience tends...
