It’s a Monday night and there is a show happening tonight at Black Sheep! Tonight we have the return of Secret Stuff from Nashville, Tennessee. They last played here in January with Run Forever and Our Lady. Check out some of Secret Stuff’s music streaming on the player below. Looks like the other touring band that was on the bill tonight (Pictures of Verrnon) sadly had to dropped since we originally announced this show. However we still have Lavender, the Central Illinois-based shoegaze project, and also Pretend I’m Not There- the loud and ambient solo project of B.J. Pearce. Then opening things up we have a performance by the femme jazz rock band Shark Week.

The show tonight starts at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. You can find a facebook event for the show right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a good look at what else is coming up at Black Sheep in the near future.

Tonight, we have a mixed show going on at Black Sheep. It actually features five bands from Springfield and the surrounding area all of which have never performed at Black Sheep before. Be sure to check out The Horse Show going on during the day at the Refuge Ranch as well. For this show we have a local band called “Trouveur” who have not yet performed at the Black Sheep. In fact, this whole show might be made of local bands performing at Black Sheep for the first time! Check out one of Trouveur’s songs streaming on the player below. For this show we also have the heavy metal group Dedwayte. Then before that we’ll be taking a trip over to 108th Street (to see the band 108th Street). Opening things up looks like we have a newer local metal band called Abolith. One last minute addition and at the top of the bill tonight is Become the Adversary from Decatur!

This show will start a little bit earlier at 5:00 pm, and this time around admission is $10 unless you pick up a ticket beforehand from one of the bands for $8. Check out a facebook event for this concert right here. Also check out what else we are planning this summer on our shows page.

Now that Dumb Fest 4-Ever we’re ready to chill out just a tad and go back to our regular 4-band shows. What a better way to *chill* than this 4-act all-solo show happening at Black Sheep tonight. None of these projects have any band links or any music online, sorry. At the top of the bill we have the newer mysterious industrial project called Ceiling Lust. And then pictured above and next on the list is the loud, ambient guitar project of B.J. Pearce called “Pretend I’m Not There.” Then we have a couple of solo acoustic performers. The first of those is Mario Cannamela (of bands Wir Können and Livin’ Thing), and then we have Blue Parks (of the band Pryss).

This show will start at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. You can find a facebook event for this show right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a good look at what other shows we have coming up at Black Sheep this summer.
