Ever since the first Black Sheep Band Lotto was a tremendous success last summer, a lot of you have been asking if we will ever do another band lotto. Well guess what, we will be having a band lotto again and it will be happening this fall! The time to put your name in the box for the second ever Black Sheep band lotto is now! There is a box (pictured above) right now inside Dumb Records that is there for band lotto submissions.

What is Black Sheep Band Lotto? For band lotto, we have a box where anyone who is interested can submit their own name. After names are submitted, we will draw names in groups of 4’s and 5’s. The randomly drawn groups then have the task of getting a band together to perform one show. It is up to the groups who plays what instrument or what the band is like.

This year we will have the box inside Dumb Records for anyone to submit their own name, and we will draw the names at the Black Sheep Anniversary show on September 18th. The band lotto show will then be held almost two months from then on Saturday, November 21st.

What’s going to be different about this year’s band lotto? Last year was a huge success, but we had a lot of submissions from people at last year’s band lotto that didn’t follow through with getting together with bandmates, etc. This year we have a nice warning label on our box! It warns everyone that submitting your name to band lotto is a commitment, and it will mean you might get drawn with people you don’t like! You will likely have to know how to play an instrument, or be prepared to have to hunt down gear and spend hours learning one! You will have to communicate with other band members and likely get together with them once a week, and likely figure out practice times, practice spaces, gear, and other things!

Good luck!
