César Bauvallet leads a seven-week Tuesday night Latin music class at one of the corridor's most respected listening rooms, running 6:30 to 8pm through late November. Outpost is a proper performance space with good acoustics and a teaching-friendly layout, which makes it a better classroom than most spots that host this kind of instruction. A...
Wednesday 13 has been doing horror-punk theatrics since the Murderdolls days, and the Shocktober Blood Tour is built around that aesthetic, costumes, prop blood, and all. The Sunshine Theater is one of the few rooms in Albuquerque big enough to hold a production like this without the stage swallowing the crowd, which matters here. Tickets...
Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque runs its Wednesday-night show during one of the busiest tourist weeks the city sees all year, which means the room will likely be full of first-timers who have no idea what they're walking into. That's not a knock; it actually tends to raise the energy, and the performers here are used to...
Two bands who never quite fit their scene's labels share a bill that should appeal to anyone who liked their mid-2000s post-hardcore with actual rhythmic ambition. El Rey is a long room with a solid floor mix, so getting toward the center pays off for a show like this. Tickets are through Ticketmaster, which means...
Palace, the brooding South London indie outfit, co-headlines this tour stop with Rollo Doherty, whose quietly devastating solo work has been pulling bigger rooms than his name suggests. The Sunshine's mid-size floor is one of the better matches for this kind of music in the city, close enough to feel the room but not so...
Combichrist brings their abrasive industrial-metal live show to Launchpad for the Venom in the Mouth of God Tour, with Ludovico Technique and Dead Animal Assembly Plant opening and DJ K.0ss holding down the floor between sets. Launchpad runs loud and close, which works in this bill's favor. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, and this...
A full tablao flamenco production, dancer, singer, and guitarist performing together in the intimate room at Hotel Albuquerque, timed to Balloon Fiesta week when the city is at its most crowded and its most festive. The tablao format seats you close enough that you can hear the footwork land, which changes the experience considerably compared...
Albuquerque gets the first night of a national grindcore run, with California's Trip to the Morgue (Wormholedeath Records, Napalm Death adjacency) headlining over Las Vegas touring partners Skeleton Crew and local openers Egregious 505 on Central Avenue. The Lobo's room rewards this kind of show, big enough to absorb the volume, old enough to have...
Halloween-themed stand-up comedy at one of the quirkier venues on Central, a brewpub that also happens to rent rooms, which means the crowd on any given night is a genuine mix of locals and travelers who wandered downstairs. The Brews & Boos series has been their fall calling card, so expect the room to lean...
