Freudian Slips performs a clown-themed burlesque show at the Painted Lady, running two hours on a Sunday evening as part of the venue's Brews & Boos fall series. Painted Lady is a small, quirky space on Central, so expect the performers working close to the crowd and the room filling up fast. Tickets are through...
Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque puts traditional Spanish flamenco in a proper tablao format, meaning the dancers, singer, and guitarist are close enough that you feel the footwork in your chest. Hotel Albuquerque's intimate room on Old Town's edge has genuine flamenco history here in Albuquerque, and this matinee slot makes it accessible without a late night....
New York duo Elasea Douglas and Sadiki Pierre perform their Love & Laughs show here: one voice, one upright bass, no backing band, no place to hide. That stripped arrangement is exactly what built their following, and the Lobo's intimacy is going to make it hit differently than a standard concert room. Seats are reserved...
A full Broadway touring production of Beauty and the Beast lands at Popejoy, which remains one of the better mid-sized theatrical rooms in the Southwest for exactly this kind of show. Popejoy's sightlines are genuinely good from most of the house, though the upper balcony can feel remote for a production that leans on facial...
Three Bad Jacks bring their brand of outlaw-leaning rock to Launchpad, one of the corridor's most reliable small stages for loud guitar music. The show starts at 9 p.m. local time on a Sunday night, so plan accordingly if Monday morning has opinions about your weekend. Launchpad's room is narrow and the sound bounces hard...
Three acts on one bill at Launchpad, mid-week and late, which tells you something about the crowd that shows up: people who actually want to be there. Launchpad's long narrow room puts you close to the stage whether you want to be or not, and on a night this size that proximity usually works in...
glaive is one of the sharper names in the hyperpop-to-emo pipeline, a songwriter who writes about being young with enough specificity that it actually lands. The Sunshine holds around 900 standing, which means this will feel intimate if it undersells and chaotic in the best way if it sells through. Tiffany Day is worth showing...
Glaive, the North Carolina-bred hyperpop kid who was making music that sounded like a teenager's diary getting fed through a distortion pedal before he was old enough to vote, headlines the Sunshine with Tiffany Day and Kurtains on a bill titled God Save The Three. The Sunshine is one of the better mid-size rooms on...
Authority Zero has been grinding the punk-reggae circuit for over two decades, and they still play like they have something to prove, which works in a room like Launchpad where the floor gets loud fast. Four bands on a Wednesday-night ticket means this starts early and moves quick, so arriving late risks missing the local...
Quantum Lifestyle Enterprises is bringing a Greek-life step show and block party to a cluster of Downtown corridor venues, including Rhythm Room, The Library Bar, Bourbon and Boots, and The Vibe. Multi-venue events like this tend to have a pulse that single-room shows can't replicate, but they also reward people who arrive knowing which room...
