June in ABQ, What’s Happening?

Summer is finally here (well, almost) and there’s some pretty cool stuff to do in the Duke City.  Here’s a sample of some of the great music and other events that should keep you nicely distracted.

Built to Spill – The Launchpad – June 1st, 9:00 p.m., $22.  Boise, Idaho, rockers Built to Spill bring their post punk indy sound to the Launch Pad to, uh, launch the month of June. Don’t know if they’re touring Untethered Moon, the re-press of There’s Nothing Wrong With Love, or putting something new together, but should be a punchy show.  Launchpad

Blue Velvet – 30th Anniversary – The Guild Cinema, June 3rd, 4th, 10:30 p.m.  Like a train wreck you can’t look away from, check out the classic David Lynch film about the bizarre and violent underworld of a seemingly normal town. And don’t worry, mommy loves you…  Guild Cinema

Alfred Hitchcock – The KiMo Theater – Fridays in June, 6:00 & 8:30 p.m. Lots of Hitchcock coming in the month of June and well as Mother Road Movies (in partnership with ABQ Museum’s Route 66: Radiance, Rust Revival on the Mother Road), various dates. Also showing, Easy Rider, June 30th.  KiMo

Stephen Marley – Sunshine Theater – June 8th, 7:30 (13+ show), $25.  Stephen Marley always puts on a great show and keeps the reggae tradition mastered by his father very much alive.  Sunshine

Dale Watson – Low Spirits – June 9th, 9:00 p.m., $13.  If you’re looking for some real country, Dale Watson is just the guy for you.  Come out and see a great show in an intimate setting and be sure to wear your dancing boots.  Low Spirits

Soul Kitchen, LeChat Lunatique, Memphis P Tails and others – Harvest Café – various June dates, 6:00 p.m., $10 (includes a the pizza you can eat). Come out to some great blues and dirty jazz on the patio at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center.  There’s lots of music playing under the June sky.  Pueblo Harvest Cafe.

Hairspray – The Little Theater – through June 16th, $14 – $24.  Hey Hon! The Broadway version of John Waters screenplay is here in ABQ.  Set in 1962 Baltimore (“ats Bawlmer, hons, if you don’ know how to say it right and all…”), this winner of 8 Tony Awards is sure to entertain you with laughter, romance and great tunes. ABQ Little Theater
