Happy first day of summer! With it being the summer solstice and all right now, we feel it to be pretty appropriate today for us to announce our other summer festival – Black Sheep Fest happening this year on Saturday, August 5th. This will actually be the tenth Black Sheep Fest we have put on at Black Sheep, with the first one being three days in 2008! Check out that lineup – 15 or so acts that are all local to Springfield:
PRYSS
LIVIN THING
BHS (Reunion)
BOTTOM BRACKET
STICK PEOPLE
NEFARIOUS CLOUD
ANIMALS WITH HUMAN NAMES
MIKEY HASH
PROWESS
ABYSS
STARLORDE
SPELLBREAKER
NIGHT NIGHT BOY
AUTHUMBLUSURT
SYNZU
KATE LAINE
That’s right this year the fest features another reunion and that is the old Springfield pop punk group BHS (Banana Hammock Soldiers), who were active some years before Black Sheep was even around. Also we are crossing our fingers on the new project of Brandon Carnes – “Night Night Boy” being able to perform.
Black Sheep Fest this year will start at 3:00 pm and admission is $10. Check out a facebook event for this one right here. We also just updated our shows page a bit – check that out right here.
