Tonight on the corridor
The Route is quiet on Central tonight. See the week ahead.
Three local acts share the Launchpad stage on a Sunday night that starts late and runs later, with Fragile! This Side Up opening and Foxtide closing things out. Launchpad's sound system punches harder than the room's size suggests, and the floor in front of the stage fills fast once a bill has this much local...
Foxtide takes the stage at Launchpad, one of the few rooms on Central that still books with genuine curatorial instinct. The show runs late, starting around 8 or 9 PM local, which means the room won't hit its real energy until well after most people have already talked themselves out of going. Tickets are through...
Albert Castiglia plays the kind of blues that doesn't sit still, built on years of touring with Junior Wells and a catalog that keeps getting harder and less polite. FUSION...
Triple-A baseball between the Albuquerque Isotopes and the Las Vegas Aviators, played under the lights at one of the best minor league parks in the Southwest. Isotopes Park sits right on the corridor and has a knack for delivering cool August evenings after brutal afternoons, so the 7:35 p.m. first pitch is timed better than...
The Botanic Garden runs a 90-minute after-hours walk through the grounds once the families have cleared out, which is a genuinely different experience from the daytime version. The start time...
Every Tuesday night, Bass Queens opens the decks at Gaia's Kava Root to anyone who wants to play, from road-tested selectors to people still figuring out their gain staging. The kava bar format means this is a genuinely sober-friendly room, which changes the social texture considerably compared to a standard bar night out. If you...
The Isotopes host the Las Vegas Aviators for a Thursday night game at Isotopes Park, the triple-A ballpark sitting right on Central Avenue in the UNM corridor. The start time converts to 6:35 PM local, which puts first pitch squarely in that August sweet spot where the worst of the heat has backed off but...
Rudolfo Anaya's New Mexico cornerstone gets a full stage treatment by the Vortex Theatre, running four days at the NHCC's Albuquerque Journal Theatre in a special limited seating configuration. That...
The Isotopes, Oakland's Triple-A affiliate, take on the Las Vegas Aviators in an evening Pacific Coast League game at the ballpark sitting right on Central. Isotopes Park has some of the best sightlines of any minor league stadium in the Southwest, and the summer heat drops fast once the sun goes behind the third-base grandstand...
Hatebreed has been one of the most consistent live acts in hardcore for nearly three decades, and their set is built around crowd participation in a way that actually means it. El Rey's floor is general admission and gets tight fast for a bill like this, so arriving early matters more than it usually would....
