Tonight on the corridor
This is a post-dawn wind-down hosted by NM Rave Cave at one of the corridor's more interesting rooms, a kava bar that handles late-night energy better than most venues with a liquor license. Luna Kava's setup lends itself to exactly this kind of low-lit, still-moving crowd, so expect the vibe to lean more communal than...
The Lobo Sports Vault, the dedicated sports room inside the Historic Lobo Theater, runs every NFL game simultaneously during a Sunday brunch window from 11 AM to 2 PM. Each game day you attend this season earns one entry into a drawing for the VIP balcony at Super Bowl LXI for you and 50 guests,...
A one-hour tablao-format flamenco show with live guitar, cante, and baile performed in the intimate setting inside Hotel Albuquerque, right on Central. The specific artists are still TBD at time of listing, so the caliber of the performance is genuinely unknown, but the format itself is the real draw: close quarters, no amplification buffer, the...
Jordan Jonas hosts a supernatural-themed evening at Painted Lady Bed & Brew, the quirky Central Avenue spot that doubles as an actual inn, as part of their recurring Brews & Boos series. That bed-and-brew setup means the crowd often includes out-of-towners who wandered downstairs, which gives these nights a looser, stranger energy than your typical...
Three Deuce Luce brings their set to Insideout's outdoor garden space for a late-summer party on Central. Insideout's courtyard punches above its square footage, so arrive with time to settle in before the music takes hold. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so sort that out in advance rather than gambling on the door.
San Diego's The Frights are marking a decade of their debut album with a full tour stop at the Sunshine, one of the few rooms on Central that can actually hold a crowd this size without losing the energy. The self-deprecating tour name is a bit. The band is not: ten years in, they play...
Hotline TNT brings their brand of loud, distortion-heavy guitar pop to Launchpad, one of the few rooms on Central that genuinely suits this kind of show. The stage-to-floor ratio here keeps things close, so if you like the record, you will feel it differently at that volume and that distance. Tickets are through Hold My...
Triple-A Pacific Coast League ball at one of the better mid-size stadiums in the country, where the Isotopes host Salt Lake on a Tuesday night. Isotopes Park sits right on...
Cola, the Toronto post-punk outfit that rose from the wreckage of Ought, brings their tightly coiled, conversational guitar work to Sister with Artificial Go opening. Sister runs small and close,...
Roberto and Paoli Rodriguez dig into the Afro-Cuban jazz tradition as a tribute to Miles Davis at the 100-year mark, performing as part of the 20th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival at Outpost. Outpost is a listening room in the truest sense: the sightlines are good, the crowd pays attention, and the acoustics reward it....
