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.

Music to Your Ears
Back to the Future
As countless sci-fi flicks illustrate, messing with the space-time continuum often leaves a traveler in a place they don't recognize as their desired destination. The Time Machine, Shoulder Voices' fourth full-length album, was catalyzed by Little Bobby Tucker's desire to move past a decade-old heartache.

Vertigo Venus’ Success or Suicide
Vertigo Venus is an unapologetic promo machine. Overkill Internet campaigns swathe social networking sites until you feel you’ve been waterboarded into submission. Excessive, yes, but the outcome is massive support from a rabid fan base that loves the band’s punky synthpop goodness.
