Stop by Launchpad tonight for a sneak peak of the upcoming Southwest Burlesque Showcase (taking place this Friday and Saturday at KiMo Theatre). Tonight’s pre-show party will feature live burlesque performances by such New Mexico / Colorado / Arizona shake-and-shimmy aficionados as Delicia Doll Curls, Joy Coy, Ann Gora, Malificent Allure, Madame Lennox and more. Local bands Vertigo Venus and The Hi-Lo Tones will be there as well, making with the tunes. This 21-and-over event will set you back a mere $5. But if you flash your tickets to Friday or Saturday’s Southwest Burlesque Showcase at the door, you get in for free! The fun starts at 9 p.m.

That’s right friends, international burlesque superstars Trixie Little and Evil Hate Monkey, among others, are coming to Albuquerque on Wednesday to Effex Nightclub (420 Central SW). Going out on a Wednesday sucks, but we've been assured the show is absolutely worth it. Details and ticket information are available at burlesquenoir.com. Since some of you might want to sleep off your hangovers before work on Thursday, the show starts at 8 p.m. See you there.

Lookin’ for a hot time this evening? How about swinging by Low Spirits at 2823 2nd Street for an evening of tunes, ’tinis and teasers? Awesome rockabilly band The Hydramatics will be busting out the sounds. Kitty Irreverent and a bevy of Burly-Q cuties will be performing live Burlesque acts throughout the evening. Alibi film editor (and notorious bon vivante) Devin D. O’Leary (that's me!) will be there guzzling down the drink specials and performing some semblance of hosting duties. Admission is $9 at the door. Show starts at 9 p.m.

The Pretty Things Peepshow, a vintage-style burlesque road show, will be rolling into Albuquerque this Sunday, March 7. Performers Go-Go Amy and Bettina May will be demonstrating the classic art of the striptease alongside jaw-dropping sideshow acts like sword-swallowers, firebreathers and more. Check out the promo video over there to get an idea of what you’ll get an eyeful of at the Launchpad this Sunday night. Doors open at 8 p.m. Show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets will run you 10 bucks at the door.

Shake 'em if you got 'em, that's what Ma always said. It's advice the ladies of the fourth annual Southwest Burlesque Showcase have taken to heart and made an art. Tonight and Saturday at 8 p.m., head over to the KiMo Theatre (423 Central NW) to see performers from the Land of Enchantment and our surrounding sister states razzle some tantalizing dazzle. Adults only, kiddos. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 at the door. For more and to purchase tickets, go to cabq.gov/kimo.
