According to his campaign website, Albuquerque mayoral candidate Patrick B. Sais graduated from UNM with a degree in political science, was elected to the Albuquerque City Council and earned endorsements from a local business owner, firefighter and educator in his campaign for Albuquerque mayor. That type of education, experience and community support make a solid platform on which to run for mayor....

City Councilor Joaquín Baca is threatening to block millions in new Gateway Center funding unless Mayor Tim Keller’s administration shows clear plans and real results from the $70 million-plus homelessness project. The ultimatum follows years of cost overruns, delays and missteps that have kept the Gateway’s main facility mostly closed since 2019, even after it took most of the program’s taxpayer dollars....

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico is speaking out against the use of military forces for civilian law enforcement, criticizing both President Trump’s recent deployment of National Guard troops to Washington D.C. and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s ongoing use of Guard personnel in Albuquerque. “In our country, a simple, foundational principle is that the military should not be deployed against civilians,” said Daniel Williams, policy advocate at the ACLU of New Mexico....

We beat COVID, but a decades-old entity is seeping into the pores of Albuquerque’s literature and media aficionados once again this weekend. Bubonicon 56 spreads slime, scares and sci-fi across the city with its fourth wave since defeating the pandemic: a celebration of magic and science in speculative fiction featuring over 55 authors, artists and sci-fi personalities.This year’s theme is “Mages and Mad Scientists.” The annual convention takes place August 22 through 24 at the ABQ Marriott Uptown (2101 Louisiana Blvd NE) and ponders the age-old question: why does everyone dig dudes with wild hair, weird threads and an affinity for stirring up trouble in the lab?...

Jonathan Mack is a singer-songwriter who’s got some major skills on the strings – guitar, banjo, mandolin – and a versatile playing style. He also has a pretty weird band, and when I say weird, I assure you I mean it in a very endearing way. Yes, they play some country-sounding stuff that crowds in Albuquerque eat up like a bowl of strangely seasoned mixed nuts, but from there they wander through more genres than we can name in a short online segment....

In case you didn’t know, there’s a performance-based music school in Albuquerque — it primarily teaches music by putting on shows — smack dab in the middle of town. And it’s been there for 10 years now. On September 6 School of Rock Albuquerque is having a blowout anniversary performance and open house at their 6409 Candelaria headquarters where instructors and students will battle it out live for the first time....

This weekend, legendary Downtown music hall The Launchpad (618 Central Ave. SW) celebrates “28 Years Later,” a two-night anniversary shock fest featuring over 20 of the city’s favorite bands. The milestone proves nothing, not even a fire, has been able to kill the music at one of Albuquerque’s most delightfully debaucherous venues, and we’ve got decades of hair-raising anecdotes from some of its creepiest, cutest and most articulate alumni....

Their names make them sound like a group of ex-bankrobbers getting together for one last big score, or maybe a squad of rough-around-the-edges crime fighters standing up for the average Joe and cleaning up the Slums of your nearest college town. Formed in 2018, and led by the triple vocal threat of Nevin, Leroy and Josie, the crew subverts the status quo with live performances, packing enough punch to fill the pages of a graphic novel.
