• Orrin Evans Trio at Albuquerque Museum

    Albuquerque Museum
    Old Townarts crowdTickets

    Orrin Evans is a Philadelphia pianist with serious credentials, a long run with the Keystone Collective, and enough recorded output to make clear he treats the piano trio format as an ongoing argument rather than a formula. The Ventana Room is an open-air courtyard on the museum grounds, which means the sound bounces differently than...

  • Carma 3-Year Anniversary Party

    Inside Out
    Downtownlate-nightDetails

    Carma is one of the local house nights that has actually stuck around, and this four-act anniversary lineup at Inside Out is how they're marking three years of doing it on Central. Inside Out runs small and loud, so if you want breathing room you go early, and if you want the room at full...

  • Call Me & Friends Live at Marble Brewery Downtown

    Marble Brewery Downtown
    Downtownlocal-spotlightDetails

    Call Me headlines a loose, multi-act bill at Marble's Downtown taproom on Central, the kind of night where the lineup is as much a social event as a concert. Marble's indoor stage sits right against the brewing tanks, which sounds gimmicky until you realize the room actually sounds decent and stays cooler than most Downtown...

  • Nud-i-Tease Burlesque at Launchpad

    Launchpad
    DowntownadultTickets

    High Desert Heatwave's burlesque showcase takes over Launchpad for a late Saturday night run of striptease-informed performance art, the kind of show that leans more theatrical than titillating and rewards an audience that shows up ready to be in on the joke. Launchpad is a rock venue at its bones, which means the sightlines from...

  • Platonic Ideal at The Box

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM Areaarts & performanceTickets

    A Liminal 77 Production brings Platonic Ideal to The Box Annex, the smaller, more interior room tucked behind the main Box Performance Space on Central. The Annex tends to run close and loud, so if you want breathing room you go early. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, which means no surprises at the door...

  • Carma 3-Year Anniversary Party Downtown

    El Rey Theater
    Downtownbar sceneTickets

    Carma, one of the more quietly consistent electronic promoters working Albuquerque's late-night circuit, throws its third anniversary with a four-act lineup that spans Burn the Disco, Thot Daughter, Wyatt Lawson, and Mattice. Insideout runs small and close, which means the sound hits harder than you'd expect and personal space is a negotiation. This one starts...

  • Most Epic Afters at Gaia’s Kava Root

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM Arealate-nightDetails

    This is a midnight-to-morning two-room party at a kava bar on Central, with hip hop up front and EDM in the Bass Tunnel, running until 10am Sunday. Gaia's is genuinely low-key about the kava side of things, which keeps the crowd self-selecting toward people who want to be present for the music rather than just...

  • Welker Afterparty at Space at 515 Downtown

    Kimo Theatre
    DowntownelectronicTickets

    The Neon Dreams official afterparty lands at Space at 515 with Welker behind the decks, running from what converts to late Saturday night through the early Sunday morning hours. Space at 515 is a small room that rewards dancing over spectating, so if you're showing up to stand near the wall, there are better options....

    Flambeaux takes the Old Town Gazebo for a Sunday evening set, one of the few live music slots at a venue that draws as many tourists as locals. The gazebo's...
