505 Junglist is back with a six-DJ drum and bass showcase, putting Syndicrypt, Halfblud, MS Vicious, DNDY, MYDNYTE, and Jayzo G on the same bill at Insideout. This is Albuquerque's most consistent jungle and DnB crew doing what they do on home turf, and the room at Insideout is small enough that the bass actually...
Four local and regional heavy bands stack a Friday night at the Mezzanine, which sits above El Rey's main floor and runs tighter and louder than most rooms its size....
Mr. AfterHours Presents drops DANSYN into Effex for a WHF 360° night, which means the production gets the full room treatment rather than a stage-and-crowd setup. Effex runs late and the crowd arrives later, so if you show up before midnight you will be standing in a very different room than the one this is...
This is a 45-minute long-form improv set running late on a Friday night, produced jointly by The Box and Improv Theatre. The Box is a small black-box room where the audience is close enough to make eye contact with performers, which either thrills you or makes you want to sit in the back row. Tickets...
On Point Dance Studio fills the Albuquerque Journal Theatre with a full anniversary recital spanning jazz, hip-hop, ballet, folklorico, contemporary, and tumbling, performed by students from the youngest beginners to graduating seniors. The Journal Theatre is a proper proscenium house with good sightlines from most of the house, so if you have a kid in...
Trio Carillo takes the Old Town Gazebo stage for an open-air evening set in one of Albuquerque's most recognizable outdoor spaces. The gazebo's plaza acoustics are naturally lively, so arrive early if you want a spot close enough to hear the detail in the playing rather than just the wash of it. Admission details aren't...
Vohn Vocs takes the stage at Sawmill Market for a Saturday evening set inside one of the corridor's more reliably pleasant food-hall environments. The open layout there means sound bleeds...
Alex Maryol is one of those New Mexico guitar players who has been at this long enough that the blues he plays feels lived-in rather than performed. Marble's downtown patio carries sound well on summer nights, but the indoor bar fills up fast once the set starts, so arriving early gets you a better spot...
Ship Wrek, the Canadian electronic duo with a following that tends to show up in force, headlines this outdoor block party running from 10:30 PM to 6 AM on 1st Street in front of Hollow Spirits Distillery. The street closure format means this spills well past the distillery's usual footprint, which changes the crowd density...
Two distinct Albuquerque jazz acts on one bill: EQNX Jazztet opens at 5pm and Basilaris Trio closes things out at 8pm, which makes this an early evening rather than a late-night affair despite how it reads on the calendar. Tractor's Nob Hill patio is one of the better outdoor listening spots on this stretch of...
