Oh! We have an action packed day lined up in Southtown, and it actually started over here at 8:00 am this morning at Dumb Records. The shop is open right now and we’ve got plenty of free coffee and scones from Cafe Andiamo! Come stop by! Today is Black Friday Record Store Day, which means Dumb Records has plenty of new exclusive releases in the shop, which you can check out the list for right here. In addition to the exclusive releases, the store is offering 20% off all new items and 40% off all used. Check out a facebook event for all of that right here– Dumb Records is open until 9:00 pm tonight.

And then for the big heavy hitting hardcore show happening tonight at The Black Sheep… For this show we’ve got the mean and nasty band Bent Life from Omaha, Nebraska. Bent Life performed at Black Sheep at some point years ago- you can check out some of their music streaming below. We have a few other familiar bands stopping through for this show- we have the return of Lowered A.D. since their set at Dumb Fest 4-Ever this past year. Also Capitol Offense is making a return for the first time since their 4th of July Show. Then we have Springfield favorites Pryss, and opening things up is a performance by that new-ish Bloomington/Normal powerviolence band “Stye“.

This mega-show will be starting at 6:00 pm and admission is $10. You can check out a facebook event for this one right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a good look at everything going on at Black Sheep for the rest of this fall.
