Australian brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone are touring behind their new album with the kind of large-scale production, lights and choreography included, that fills a room the size of Kiva without it feeling empty. This act has built a following that travels, so expect the auditorium to be full and the crowd to be genuinely...
Hot Water Music has been doing this for thirty years, and they still play like something is at stake, which is rarer than it should be at this level. Launchpad is a small room for a band of this stature, so the crowd will be close and loud, and that is exactly the point. Grab...
Febuary takes the stage at Insideout for a late-night set that runs until six in the morning, which tells you something about the energy this room is built for. Insideout sits right on the corridor and keeps a tight, close-quarters floor that rewards showing up early if you want space to move. Tickets are through...
Two of the most introverted names in contemporary rap share a bill at El Rey, which is about as well-suited to their specific brand of murky, introspective boom-bap as any room on the corridor. El Rey runs small enough that the sound stays close, which is exactly what this music needs. Tickets through Ticketmaster, 13...
The Ganders take the stage at Marble's Downtown taproom, one of the more reliably good-sounding rooms on this stretch of Central. The outdoor patio fills fast on fall Saturday nights, so arriving early gets you the better real estate and skips the bar queue.
This is a multi-band cover night at Launchpad, kicking off what the name makes clear is at least a two-night run timed to Halloween season. Launchpad's long room rewards the format: you can drift toward the bar when a set isn't for you and move up when one is. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket,...
Two of the most quietly influential voices in left-field hip-hop share a bill, with Surf Gang and skate legend turned rapper Na-Kel Smith opening. El Rey holds around 500 and the floor gets close fast, so arriving early puts you in a better position than the ticket alone does. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket,...
Launchpad's annual Halloween cover band run is exactly what it sounds like: a stretch of October nights where different acts take the stage as someone else entirely, costumes and all. The festival pass structure means you're buying into the whole run, which is the right call if you've done this before, because individual nights tend...
Levi Platero, one of the most technically serious blues guitarists working out of New Mexico right now, leads a rotating cast of guests through an SRV birthday tribute at FUSION...
Whitney Cummings, one of the sharper stand-ups working right now, brings her Big Baby Tour to Kiva Auditorium on October 3. Kiva seats around 2,400, so this is a proper theater experience with real sightlines from nearly every section, not the crammed club setting where her material usually lives. Tickets are through Ticketmaster, so buy...
