Three days of live tattooing, artist booths, ink competitions, and music spread across the Convention Center on Central. A show this size draws regional and national artists you wouldn't normally...
Hello Darlin, a country and Americana act whose name tips its hand immediately, takes the Thirsty Eye taproom stage on a Friday evening at 5 p.m. The room is small enough that there is no bad spot for sound, but that same quality means it reaches capacity faster than most people expect. Check the 505...
Reify is a live collision between movement and technology, with dancers and sound artists working alongside coders and designers in real time rather than performing finished work. The Arts Lab format tends to blur the line between audience and participant, so expect something messier and more interesting than a conventional showcase. Check the Eventbrite listing...
Holy Roller brings their abrasive, hook-heavy rock to the BioPark Zoo's outdoor concert setup on a Friday evening in July. The zoo context sounds gimmicky until you're actually there, because...
Reviva takes the Old Town Gazebo stage for an evening show in one of Albuquerque's most recognizable outdoor settings, steps from the plaza and the tourist foot traffic that comes with it. The gazebo's open-air layout means sound bleeds into the surrounding park, so the further back you stand the more it feels like ambient...
Two Albuquerque acts share the Marble Downtown stage on a Friday night, with Carita opening for The Mango Cakes. Marble's patio pulls in foot traffic from the street, so the room tends to fill faster than the 9 p.m. crowd expects. Admission details weren't confirmed at press time, so check the ticket link before you...
Four local acts share the Insideout stage for a night that reads like a who's-who of the current Burque underground rap scene. Insideout runs small and loud, so expect the kind of room where the bass hits you before you find a spot to stand. Admission isn't listed yet, so check the 505 Live link...
Kaleidoscope takes the floor at Thirsty Eye Brewing on a Friday night, with the kind of two-hour set that suits a brewery room that actually has decent acoustics for its...
Mango Cakes brings their set to Marble's Downtown taproom, one of the more reliably sound-managed rooms on this stretch of Central. The indoor-outdoor layout means you can drift to the...
Leftover Soul has been holding down Friday nights longer than most of the bars that have opened and closed around it, and the vinyl-only rule isn't a gimmick, it's the whole point. Sister Bar's layout puts you close enough to the booth to actually feel the room shift when a good record drops. Tickets are...
