Updated daily. Set times move, call the venue when it matters.
The traffic light format is exactly what it sounds like: wear green if you're available, red if you're not, yellow if you're somewhere in between, and let the color do the talking for the rest of the night. El Rey's layout works well for this kind of social event, with enough room to circulate but...
Four bands cycling through El Rey's stage on what is effectively a late Sunday night, with doors putting you well past midnight by the time the lineup runs its course. El Rey's long room rewards the bands in the middle of a bill more than most venues do, since the sound stays consistent whether you're...
The third night of Launchpad's Halloween cover band run means the series has already sorted out its sea legs, and whatever lineup lands here tends to play looser and longer than night one ever does. Launchpad's room rewards that, a standing floor with decent sightlines and a sound system that actually handles guitars. Tickets are...
BIJOU, the Denver-based producer who built a following through relentless touring and a catalog that sits at the harder, grittier end of house music, plays Effex on a Saturday night....
k?d brings his layered, emotionally-driven take on future bass and melodic bass to Effex, one of the few Downtown rooms that can actually hold the low end these sets demand.

Launchpad's long narrow room rewards standing close to the stage, and by night five the crowd that shows up knows exactly what they're doing and tends to...
Twiztid, the Detroit horror-rap duo who have been working the Psychopathic Records circuit since the late 90s, headline El Rey with Albuquerque's Buffalo Farm opening. El Rey is a long room with a solid sound system and a stage that rewards acts who actually perform rather than just stand there, and Twiztid leans hard into...
Night six of Launchpad's annual Halloween cover band marathon, running late into a Saturday night on the corridor. By this point in the series the crowds know the drill and the energy in that room tends to be loose and committed in equal measure. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so sort that before you...
