Built To Spill, the Boise outfit that helped define what overdriven, melodically obsessive indie rock could be in the '90s, plays El Rey with local singer-songwriter Paul Schalda opening. El Rey's long room and solid sound system suit this band well, since their live sets tend to stretch and wander in ways that reward a...
CQ The Drummer is an Albuquerque percussionist who builds Afro-tropical sets around live drumming at the center, not as backdrop but as the main event. Marble Downtown's taproom has a concrete-and-steel room that actually carries percussion well, which not every brewpub can say. A ticket link exists, so sort that out before you show up.
A full tablao-format flamenco show at Hotel Albuquerque, with dancers, a singer, and a guitarist performing in the tradition that has made this recurring series one of the more serious flamenco presentations in the Southwest. The Old Town-adjacent hotel setting is polished without being stiff, and the room is small enough that you're never far...

The Box is a small, focused black-box space where nothing hides, which either sharpens a troupe or exposes them, and Improv Theatre tends to handle that pressure well. Grab tickets...
Three names from the heavier end of house music, Wax Motif and VNSSA in particular having built real momentum on the festival circuit, playing a venue better known for visual art and cultural programming than for DJ sets. The NHCC's event spaces can work well for this kind of show when production is dialed in,...
Five Albuquerque DJs, including Kingsman, Baby Bumps, Sofly, Aquraccy, and Markhyphen, bring a full night of drum and bass, jungle, and liquid funk to 403 Mountain Rd NW. The 9 PM start time in this listing is a confirmed placeholder, so check the ticket link for the actual door time before you commit to the...
Bryan Lambe's puppet-fronted variety show takes over The Box Annex, the smaller secondary room inside The Box Performance Space on Central. The Annex is an intimate black-box setup, so there...
