Jochis Nights is a monthly queer Latine party at the Social Club, built around Latin music and drag with an intentional emphasis on community rather than just a crowd. The Social Club runs small and gets warm fast, so arriving early is the difference between comfortable and sardine. Tickets are on Eventbrite, which suggests they're...
Crime Lab is calling this a 'bye for now' show, which means the room will carry that specific weight that only farewell sets bring out in people. Launchpad's narrow floor tends to compress a crowd in a way that works in your favor on a night like this, when everyone already knows the words. Grab...
Four DJs, a goth beach concept, and a start time that is technically 9:30 PM local (the UTC listing puts this squarely in Saturday night prime time) make this the third year Apparition has taken over El Rey for what has quietly become one of the more committed theme nights on the corridor. El Rey's...
Sac One Presents brings Bandit Lordz and El Uno to Moonlight Lounge for another Mic Club 46 installment, one of the more consistent hip-hop booking series working the corridor right now. Moonlight runs late and the crowd tends to arrive that way too, so showing up at the listed start time means you have the...
Jahbabii and Badmon take the decks at Gaia's Kava Root for a late-night set that runs hip-hop, R&B, reggaeton, and trap, with a third DJ listed only as a surprise. Gaia's is a kava bar by day, which means the room skews sober-friendly and the crowd tends to be more about the music than the...
All Sick Burque brings a beach theme to one of Downtown's more reliably sweaty dance floors, with DJ Solita and Rissy trading sets from 10pm until the early hours of Sunday morning. Insideout runs small and loud, so if you're going for the music rather than the scene, get there before midnight when the room...
Arizona metalcore headliners The Word Alive are running their Deceiver and Dark Matter Tour through Launchpad with three support acts filling out a bill that should run long. Launchpad's low ceiling and close-quarters floor make the heavy stuff hit harder than the room has any right to, which is either the appeal or the reason...
Cockroach Theatre, one of Albuquerque's scrappier and more reliable small companies, takes on Shakespeare's fairy-court comedy in The Box Annex, the smaller of the two performance spaces at this Central...
Slow Joy's tour lands at Launchpad on a Tuesday night with local support from The High Curbs and Glom, which is the kind of weeknight bill that quietly outperforms the weekend. Launchpad runs small and loud, so if Slow Joy's recorded haze translates live the way it should, the back of the room is still...
