Five New Mexico acts, Nomestomper, TAJ, Talking Hours, Dymer, and Right on Kid, take over Launchpad as a satellite stage for the Bands of Enchantment festival.

Improv Theatre takes the stage at The Box for an hour of unscripted comedy built entirely in the room, with the audience as a co-conspirator. The Box is a small, focused black-box space where nothing hides, which either sharpens a troupe or exposes them, and Improv Theatre tends to handle that pressure well. Grab tickets...
Three names from the heavier end of house music, Wax Motif and VNSSA in particular having built real momentum on the festival circuit, playing a venue better known for visual art and cultural programming than for DJ sets.
