Her song “Honey,” is the kind of music to close your eyes to as you sway into the void, the same void into which Shake’s bellowing vocals are crying out unearthly, soaring and seemingly unattached from the human plane. Pronounce it like “oh-seven-oh shake,” so the kids won’t make fun of you, and know this New Jersey-based hip-hop artist brings bumping basses underneath ’80s synths and a dominating voice. So what shows (that still have tickets as of the moment we published this piece) might you want to check out at Meow Wolf soon? We’ve compiled some below:Ġ70 Shake (7 pm Tuesday, Sept. In case you missed that, you can’t see any of these bands in Albuquerque this season, and that’s saying something. “About half of these bands play bigger venues,” he explains, “and there’s a radius clause in their contract so we can offer the best possible shows in Santa Fe.”
Kessler says he still has other announcements to make, but that it’s important to pick up tickets as soon as possible if you hope to make any of these bigger shows. 29 still has available tickets, as do the Quicksand show in October, and the Deafheaven show in February. Still, folk-punkers AJJ (with Xiu Xiu!) on Sept. The Mountain Goats’ August shows are totally sold out, as is Gogol Bordello in September.
Because of this-and, presumably, the easing of the pandemic doldrums-Meow Wolf shows are selling out at a faster rate than ever before. And though regular patrons might think of Meow Wolf as a space dedicated to EDM, house, techno and other DJ-heavy live music experiences, Kessler says he’s dedicated to booking a wide array of styles-not just the DJ sets you might remember from past years. Some DJ shows have even take place inside the House of Eternal Return itself. Indeed, the main exhibits at Meow Wolf are occasionally open during performances. Still, he says, “I love the intentionality of the artists, and how even the stage space is another experience zone.” Kruger has visited at least twice, though he tells SFR he can’t recall the first concert that brought him to Santa Fe. “You could hear the sound oozing and echoing through the entire space,” says Natan Kruger during a recent conversation in the parking lot during a particularly busy day at Meow Wolf. “Halloween came up, and we were like ‘Meow Wolf Halloween? Sounds like if you pumped info into a computer asking what’s the best possible night ever?’” he says, “the computer comes out with Meow Wolf Halloween.” This year, that show falls on Halloween, a specifically planned holiday event that, according to Kessler, should pack the house and get ‘em dancing. I try to add it to every single tour I do,” says Maryland-based electronic musician and composer Dan Deacon. “Meow Wolf is one of the only spots where the venue is also like one of the performers-it has this real unique quality to it. Since then, countless big name bands and DJs have routed through Santa Fe rather than Albuquerque-a formerly rare occurrence that now feels like a distant memory. Said venue, which fits roughly 400, has proven one of the more popular live music spaces in the state since Meow Wolf opened its House of Eternal Return perma-installation in 2016. Artists are excited to come and play in the Meow Wolf venue.” “So much of touring has been in the box, bands playing the same rooms over and over again. Croix Kessler, Meow Wolf’s senior talent buyer and event promoter. “Bands are wanting to play really cool rooms,” says Noah De St. After the pandemic lockdowns and laying off 201 people in 2020, Santa Fe arts mega-corporation Meow Wolf is slowly but surely returning to live shows once more and, frankly, its upcoming slate of events is straight fire.
