Tonight on the corridor
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Los Angeles swing band that spent the late '90s making jump blues feel urgent again, plays the KiMo Theatre on Central. The KiMo's art deco interior is genuinely one of the better rooms in the Southwest for this kind of show, all hard surfaces and theatricality, and the acoustics reward...
Bay Area rapper Mike Sherm brings his street-rap catalog to El Rey, a late-night show that runs until 2 a.m. local time. El Rey's long room can feel cavernous for mid-tier draws, but it compresses nicely when a crowd actually shows up, and Sherm has a loyal enough following in the Southwest to fill the...
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the California swing band that never really went away after the late-90s revival, plays the KiMo Theatre in a pairing that actually makes sense: the band's horns-out, big-room energy fits the KiMo's 700-seat Pueblo Deco interior better than most clubs could manage. The KiMo has limited flat floor space, so if...
Four Albuquerque bands across one night at Launchpad, which means a long bill that rewards showing up early rather than pacing yourself to the headliner. Launchpad's sound system handles loud and layered music well, and a four-band local show tends to draw a cross-section of scenes that makes the room feel alive before anyone plugs...
Black Veil Brides, the Los Angeles band that built a career out of glam-metal theatrics and arena-sized anthems, plays El Rey with Caskets in support. El Rey is a tight room for a band that usually wants to feel bigger, which actually works in your favor here because the production hits harder when you're close...
A three-day Latin dance festival spread across the NHCC campus, Fusion, and the Albuquerque Museum, anchored by Grammy-winning Spanish Harlem Orchestra on Friday night and 30 workshops covering everything from...
Carlos Morton's Esperanza adapts the story of the 1951 Empire Zinc strike in Bayard, NM, where Mexican American miners' wives took over the picket line after the Taft-Hartley Act pushed...
Two acts share the bill here, starting with Bossa 66 at 5 pm and handing off to Jazz Traveler at 8 pm, which gives you a genuine evening arc rather...
Black Veil Brides bring their Vindicatour US 2026 run to El Rey with a full four-band bill that includes Caskets, Archers, and Holy Wars. El Rey's floor gets genuinely packed...
Horror trivia at one of the more characterful spots on Central, a brewpub that actually has rooms upstairs, which gives the whole Brews and Boos series a faint gothic logic. The format rewards people who know their slasher franchises cold, but the crowd skews more enthusiastic than cutthroat, so first-timers tend to hold their own....
