k?d brings his layered, emotionally-driven take on future bass and melodic bass to Effex, one of the few Downtown rooms that can actually hold the low end these sets demand. The 9:00 PM start time floating around is a placeholder, not confirmed, so check the ticket link before you plan your night around it. Effex...
Gaia's Kava Root is throwing an 18-plus Halloween party with a haunted maze built into the space, which is a genuinely different move for a kava bar on Central. The room is small enough that a maze is either a stroke of genius or a crowded nightmare, so arriving close to doors at 9:30 gives...
Gaia's Kava Root, the kava bar on Central, is partnering with ACE to run a haunted house experience on the Friday night before Halloween weekend 2026. The show runs from late evening into the early morning hours, so this is firmly a late-night crowd situation. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, which means the door...
Chinese Football, the Beijing-based math-rock band whose intricate guitar work earned them a devoted following well outside China, plays Launchpad on the Occupy the Absence Tour with The Tewa opening....
Five bands across the death metal and sludge spectrum share a bill heavy enough that the floor will vibrate before the first note lands. Sunshine Theater holds around 800 and...

This is night five of Launchpad's annual Halloween week cover band run, which means you're catching the tail end of whatever collective sleep deprivation has accumulated since Monday. Launchpad's long narrow room rewards standing close to the stage, and by night five the crowd that shows up knows exactly what they're doing and tends to...
Two catalogs, one night: a live tribute act works through the full sweep of both Prince and Michael Jackson, with a Halloween costume contest and themed decor folded into what is essentially a late-night dance event. The Lobo is a genuine theater with a real stage and multiple bars, so the room has more breathing...
Twiztid, the Detroit horror-rap duo who have been working the Psychopathic Records circuit since the late 90s, headline El Rey with Albuquerque's Buffalo Farm opening. El Rey is a long room with a solid sound system and a stage that rewards acts who actually perform rather than just stand there, and Twiztid leans hard into...
Night six of Launchpad's annual Halloween cover band marathon, running late into a Saturday night on the corridor. By this point in the series the crowds know the drill and the energy in that room tends to be loose and committed in equal measure. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so sort that before you...
