For those of you who didn’t read the post about Mama Linda, her house burned down in May. Mama Linda is a very good friend to the Black Sheep, and almost all of the food our beloved punk mom Apryl brings to shows to feed show-goers and touring bands is because Mama Linda gives it to her, thanks to her access to overstock. We want to help Mama Linda out and show her as much generosity as she shows us!!

Therefore, there’s going to be a benefit show in July and everyone who is anyone should come! Why? This show will not only be helping Mama Linda, it’s a Mother Leopard return show. Holy crap, come see the locals in Mother Leopard exhibit all their glory once again! You can hear some of their songs in the bandcamp player below if you need your memory to be refreshed. A really cool band named In Exile will be coming down to play as well in order to bring the love and the hardcore punk to the stage. The rug bugs in Soap Scum are playing too and should bring a horridly killer set as usual, so come see them!! We have even more locals on the bill too, this show will feature the dream-punk tunes of Mystery Gift as well as the emo jamz of Wir Konnen. Check it out, this show should be rad!

It will be held July 20th at 7pm. All donations will go to Mama Linda so save up your change and extra dollars! There’s also a whole Help Mama Linda page! Check that out for sure, and here’s the facebook event for any other information. Keep it real.
