The Illinois Times: “You Had To Be There”

blacksheepfestvii.18391.widea.0Springfield weekly newspaper The Illinois Times have debuted a new feature this week called “You Had To Be There.” The article is a recap of some notable events in Springfield local music of the past week. This week’s article is by Times writer Scott Faingold and it covers Donnie’s Homespun’s event “Under The Covers” which happened last weekend as well as Black Sheep Fest. More in particular, the article focuses mostly on the Table Drama/Soap Scum/Nighthawk/F///\\\\M battle set that occurred during the fest. From the article:

Soap Scum (which features Black Sheep proprietor Kevin Bradford on drums) set up their equipment on the floor near the back of the room, with the second band, Table Drama, assembled on the venue’s stage. The proceedings got underway with WWF-worthy ranting by Table Drama vocalist The Pukester proclaiming that Soap Scum was “going down” and with them the entire Black Sheep Café, clearly placing Table Drama as the bad guys in a giddily over-the-top pro-wrestling-style scenario.
