Music from the Windchime — Downtown’s Windchime Champagne Gallery (518 Central SW) has hosted several nights of music since they opened in March of this year, but this Friday, Nov. 11, will mark a first-time collaboration between the gallery and Neal Copperman’s innovative AMP concert series. The AMP Listening Room will feature national bluegrass/Americana group The Greencards, whose recent work includes the new Dualtone release Weather and Water and an opening slot on last summer’s Bob Dylan/Willie Nelson tour, will be the first national act to play the Windchime. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Get your $12 advance tickets from neal@abqmusic.com, or at the door for $15.

Party like it's B.C. 49—If the steamy bacchanalian exploits of HBO's “Rome” have gone straight to your head, here's a chance to act out your fetish for ancient civilizations in the flesh. This Thursday evening, Euphoria will present “Pleasures of Dionysus” at Pulse nightclub, starting at 9 p.m. Highlights include belly dances and sword swallowing by Baraka, while the lascivious ladies Burlesque Noir will shake things up.

The Eyeliners Set to Play a Show in Their Home Town!—Thanks to a new CD (No Apologies, recorded under the raven-wings of Joan Jett herself) and an Iron Man-style touring schedule flanked by the Warped Tour, Social Distortion and more, it's been a dog's year since the Eyeliners played a show in Albuquerque. And they live here. Well, bitch no longer, near-forgotten fans. The Eyeliners will play a free show at the Launchpad on Friday, Dec. 2. The Launchpad is footing the bill as a gesture of patron appreciation; but there is one catch—the event is also a food drive. So bring some cans, see The Eyeliners for free and feel appreciated, you patronizing music lovers.
