Halloween weekend is here! We will just be having one show this weekend, and that will be HISO‘s Halloween bash happening tonight. For this show, we have head of HISO, AYO himself performing, along with Jayy Willis who helped out a lot with the launch of Project Southtown. We also have Dramara, Phileo, Ssain, and P. Marie as our main performers for the night. We also have guest performers such as Kaite Stelivan, Mitch G, SSHS Sensations, Woods G., MZ Feb, and MP5. Make sure to bring a costume, or maybe mix things up by trading some old Hobgob costumes with friends.

All of this will start at 8:00 pm (doors earlier), tickets are $5 in advance and $6 at the door. For a look at other shows coming up at Black Sheep, check out our shows page.

It’s not Halloween yet, but it might as well be here in Southtown because we will be celebrating one of the biggest annual events for Springfield punk music, and that is the annual Hobgoblinspookadelic that NIL8 plays every year. This year we have an incredible lineup featuring the legendary New York punk band Leftover Crack. Leftover Crack formed in 1998 following the breakup of similar band Chocking Victim. Stream some of Leftover Crack’s music below. Leftover Crack will be touring with Texas band Days N Daze and New York band All Torn Up. Of course also on the bill we have legendary Springfield punk band NIL8, who have been going since the 1980’s. They will be playing second tonight (around 7:30) so make sure to come to the show on time! Opening things up is The Incorporated based out of Litchfield.

The show tonight starts at 7:00 pm. If you ordered a ticket online, we will have your name on a list at the door, just bring some sort of ID! If you purchased a ticket at Dumb Records bring it! For those of you paying at the door, the show is $12. Check out a facebook event for the show right here. Also check out our upcoming show page for Black Sheep right here.

We have a metal show happening tonight at Black Sheep! This show will feature the band Sirens from Indiana, who also played here at Black Sheep back in April. Also on tour with Sirens this time around is a band called The Fine Constant from Wisconsin. You can stream some of their music on the player below. We have a pretty stacked lineup other than those two touring bands too. We have local metalcore act Kharybdis. There will also be Central Illinois “down tempo” metal band Portals. Then we have Noesis, who has played here a number of times before, and another band called Made From Myths from Lincoln.

This show will start at 6:30 pm (doors at 6:00 pm) and admission is $10. You can find a facebook event for this one right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a good look at what else is coming up at Southtown this fall.
