César Bauvallet leads a recurring Tuesday night Latin music class at Outpost, one of the more acoustically honest rooms on the corridor. Outpost draws serious musicians as students, so expect a mixed room of beginners and people who already know what a clave is. The listing date reflects the series end on August 25, so...
Kanoa Kaluhiwa leads this all-ages weekly class at Outpost Performance Space, running every Tuesday through August 26 under the title Open Source. Outpost is one of the more thoughtfully run rooms on Central, and classes here tend to draw people who are genuinely curious rather than just checking a box. If you're on the fence,...
This is a multi-week adult band class taught by Kanoa Kaluhiwa, wrapping up with what is presumably a final session on August 26 at Outpost. Outpost runs these classes with actual ensemble structure, so expect to play with other adults rather than just practice alongside them. The ticket link will tell you what enrollment costs,...
New Mexico United, the USL Championship club that turned Albuquerque into a genuine soccer town, hosts Lexington SC at Isotopes Park on a late-August Thursday night. The supporter sections behind the goals are legitimately loud, and the sightlines in this baseball-converted setup are better than you'd expect because the stands push you close to the...
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the California swing band that never really went away after the late-90s revival, plays the KiMo Theatre in a pairing that actually makes sense: the band's horns-out, big-room energy fits the KiMo's 700-seat Pueblo Deco interior better than most clubs could manage. The KiMo has limited flat floor space, so if...
Two improvisers (or a full ensemble, depending on the night) build scenes from nothing in real time at one of the corridor's few dedicated performance spaces. The Box is a proper black-box theater, which means sight lines are good and the room is small enough that a bad show has nowhere to hide and a...
Two local electronic acts, Las Borrachas and Carma, are headlining this late-night set at Lunas Kava Root, a kava bar on Central that tends to run quieter and more intentional than your average after-hours spot. The 3:00 AM UTC timestamp puts this squarely in after-hours territory, but the listed start time is a placeholder, so...
Long-form improv from the Improv Theatre company at The Box, starting well after midnight on a Saturday, which tells you exactly what kind of crowd you'll find. The Box is a proper black box theater, so even a small audience feels like it was planned that way, and the format rewards staying attentive rather than...
This is a one-hour sketch comedy show on The Box's Mainstage, part of a marathon 24-hour festival format where ensembles write, rehearse, and perform new material inside a single day. That constraint tends to produce work that is rawer and more surprising than polished repertory shows, which is either the appeal or the caveat depending...
The Box is one of the few rooms on Central where improv comedy actually has a home, and this co-presentation with Improv Theatre suggests a more structured, rehearsed ensemble rather...
