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...
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 open-air layout means sound carries unpredictably and the crowd tends to form in rings, so arriving early gets you a spot close enough to actually...
The Isotopes, Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, take on the Round Rock Express (Rangers affiliate) under the lights at one of the better mid-level ballparks in the country. Isotopes Park sits right on Central, which means you can walk to a handful of decent post-game spots without moving your car. Tickets through Ticketmaster vary...
Three bailaores, a cantaor, and a guitarrista perform a full tablao-format flamenco show in the intimate venue inside Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few places in the country running this kind of structured, ensemble flamenco regularly. Noelle Encinias is a name that carries real weight in New Mexico flamenco circles, and seeing her share the...
Keeping Up with the Joneses takes the stage at The Hall for a late set that runs to 3 a.m. on a Sunday morning. The Hall sits right on the corridor and tends to reward people who stay past midnight, when the room loosens up and the sound gets dialed in. Grab tickets through 505...
Four local and regional heavy acts share the Launchpad stage in a late-night bill that skews hard, with The Tewa headlining above a mix of styles that ranges from hardcore to something closer to metal. Launchpad's room is narrow and loud, which works in everyone's favor here since the sound hits you before you even...
A late-night DJ pairing at Insideout puts Cruise Control alongside Speed One for a set that runs three hours deep into the weekend. Insideout is a compact room and the sound hits hard up close, so where you stand matters more than it might at a bigger venue. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so...
Arkansas songwriter Adam Faucett brings his raw, worn-in folk-blues to a triple bill at the Moonlight Lounge, with local acts William Blackart and Chip Begay opening. The Moonlight runs small and close, which works in everyone's favor here since Faucett's songs land harder when there's nowhere to hide from them. Tickets are through Hold My...
Underoath brings their Van Tour to Vans Warped Tour run to Launchpad, with Held. opening on a Tuesday night on Central. Launchpad is a small room, maybe 500 capacity on a good night, so this is the kind of show where you'll be close enough to feel the kick drum in your sternum. Admission pricing...
