Starting right now, I’m gonna be posting once a week on this site to fill you in on new record releases, shows, and whatever else is going on. I’m not sure who even looks at WordPress blog sites in 2024, but maybe this will be fun for the few parents who are trying to figure out where their kids keep going every weekend.

I’ve updated almost every page on this site with current info. Most notably, our band pages are updated to reflect who’s actually active these days (that we know of). I haven’t listed every active band but I’ve tried my best to archive all the bands that don’t appear to be active anymore. If you have a band in the Springfield area and would like to get on on the site, send us an email at dumbresbooking@gmail.com with your info!

Here’s our upcoming Friday 2/3/2024 vinyl release highlights!

– Hippy jam band PHISH’s 2002 album “Round Room” getting reissued on 180 gram split-colored vinyl
– A few re-issues from indie alternative band RAINBOW KITTEN SURPRISE, the album we are stocking the most copies of is “Seven + Mary” originally released in 2013.
– THE VASELINES “The Way Of The Vaselines” – indie band formed as a duo in Scotland 1986 on Sub Pop Records and have multiple songs that were famously covered by Nirvana
(Kiss, Kiss Molly’s Lips) (re-issue)
– J MASCIS of DINOSAUR JR. has a new solo album “What Do We Do Now” out on clear purple vinyl
– The soundtrack to the newest HUNGER GAMES movie on orange vinyl, featuring a number of artists including Olivia Rodrigo.

We have a mostly hardcore show Saturday with Chicago hardcore bands Fuerza Bruta and Home Invasion, supported by Springfield and surrounding bands No Guard, Discern, and False Negative.

This week Pepperoni has picked Beach Boys – Pet Sounds

Pep picks out a new record each week which we try our best to always keep in stock. These may be essential records for any vinyl collector or maybe it’s just what Pepperoni wants so what ya gonna do? We’ve been doing this for a while, there are over 100 titles Pep has picked so far!

Oh, also this week Pep got a sneak peek at the upcoming downtown cat café called the Cats’ Pyjamas. Pepperoni is looking forward to having new cat friends downtown
