Joanne Shaw Taylor, the British guitarist who started playing professionally at 16 after Eurythmics' Dave Stewart heard her at a festival, brings her full-throated blues-rock to the KiMo on a Tuesday night. The KiMo's Pueblo Deco interior is genuinely one of the best rooms in the Southwest to see a player this good, because the...
REZN plays slow, heavy, and hypnotic, the kind of psych-doom that works best in a small room with a loud PA, and Launchpad's setup is actually built for it. Lowheaven and Nomestomper are solid local picks for this bill, not filler. This is a 10 PM show at minimum, so plan accordingly and get there...
Four local punk and indie acts share a Halloween bill at Insideout, running from 10 p.m. into the early hours of the 29th. Insideout is a small room, which means the sound hits hard and personal space is a negotiation, so go knowing that and embrace it. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab...

The Sunshine holds around 800 and has a wide open floor, so you'll want to get there early if you care about...

The party bike format means you're moving between bars as a group, so this works best if you commit to the whole ride rather than planning to peel off early. Tickets are...
A seated tablao flamenco performance inside Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few venues in the Southwest running this format with any regularity. The specific cast is still TBD at listing time, so the experience depends on who they book, but the room itself is well-suited to the form: intimate enough that the footwork lands in...
