We are just going on down the calendar of November right now telling you what’s happening- and here we are at this upcoming Saturday, November 3rd! It’s an all around good show with two great out of town acts. At the top of the bill is Lexington Kentucky’s very own Knife Rider. Stream their music on the player below. We have yet another set by Springfield rock and roll band Livin’ Thing. The other touring act on the bill is a solo project called “Thwompsax” from all the way in California put together by a member of former Dumb Fest bands Pookie & The Poodlez and Nobunny. Opening things up is Evan Mitchell– the one man band.

This show starts at 7:00 pm and costs $7. Check out a facebook event for the show right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a look at what else we’ve got coming up at Black Sheep.

On with the show announcements! We have a very busy November lined up, starting with this show this upcoming Friday night, November 2nd. This one is the first being set up by local group Rockford, we are so proud of them. They will be performing of course. Also is an indie rock group from Springfield, Missouri called “Space Dingus“. You can stream their music on the player below. Also on this show is heavy hitting Springfield emo group Bottom Bracket. And Secteca? Who is Secteca? Aparently a new local band called Secteca that we don’t know about! Opening things up is a solo performance by Kenyon DeShasier.

This starts at 7:00 pm this Friday and admission is $5. Check out a facebook event for this 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 – it’s really updated this time!!

Have we really not yet made a post for THE Black Sheep Halloween show happening this upcoming Wednesday??? Whoopsies! Well, if you hadn’t figured it out already- we are hosting a show on Halloween. Rumor has it that the Chili Bowl Mullet man will be there (first the mayor, and now this???). This one features a stacked lineup of bands from the area. Starting from the top of that list… we have MAC – doing a set of original material this time around. We also have hardcore band Graveswitcher (very Halloween-themed name). Right in the middle we have a newer St. Louis band called Brute Force, which you can find streaming on the player embedded below. Before them is Glower– three piece grunge/indie band featuring a new lineup. And opening things up is the wild & rowdy punk band Foam Fangers.

This starts at 7:00 pm on Halloween, which means you should probably show up wearing a costume. Admission is $5. 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 the rest of this year.

Onward with the show announcements! This one is another big show coming up this upcoming weekend on Saturday! We are very excited to announce the return of Toledo Ohio thrash/metal group Mobile Deathcamp! Mobile Deathcamp features an ex member of the popular punk/metal band GWAR, and performed here at Black Sheep last in January 2014, close to a whole five years ago. Stream some of their music on the player below. This is also going to be an exciting show because we are lucky enough for Springfield punk band MAC to be doing a cover set as The Misfits, in honor of Halloween coming up and all. MAC will be doing an original set as well for our Black Sheep Halloween Show on actual Halloween. We also have hardcore/punk group Uncle Sam’s Mutagenic Children and a brand new group from Jacksonville we know little about called “Champagne Cafe” opening up.

This show starts at 7:00 pm (sorry the flier says 8:00! That was before the addition of MAC). Let’s say admission is $7-10, whatever you think is fair. Check out a facebook event for this one right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a look at what else is coming up at Black Sheep in the near future (working on updating it!!!).

We do have a lot of shows piling up in the coming weeks here at Black Sheep to tell you about, and we better start getting through these show announcements here really quick! We have a punk show coming up this Wednesday, October 24th in just a few days. This one may or may not feature new Springfield hardcore band Final Order, we are not sure. There are two touring acts on the bill, both from St. Louis. One is “Chalked Up” – a hardcore / grind band whose music you can find streaming on the player below. The other band they are coming with is Coffin’ Fit– a garage punk group also from St. Louis. Opening things up is completely different genre-wise- a performance by the solo ambient project Pretend I’m Not There.

This show starts at 7:00 pm on Wednesday and admission is $5. Check out a facebook event for the show right here. We are also working on updating our shows page!
