There is a very different type of show going on tonight over at Dumb Records! Starting at 7:00 pm tonight there is a free event in the store which features musical performances from two acts, but also a special movie premiere of a new locally made fan fiction Star Wars film called “The Lost Sandwich.” The film is written and directed by Evan Mitchell: One Man Band of Taylorville, Illinois. As you can see in the movie poster pictured above it features characters played by Drew Carrher, Brian Galecki, Mrs. Doubtfire, Milk Tirehaus, Ramsey Miller, Carter Bibb, and more. We have been told the film itself has a run time of about twenty minutes. If you like what you hear, you can catch a sneak peek with this movie trailer right here. In addition to the film there will be musical performances in the store by Gary & The Omnichords and Imaginary Colours. Stream some music from Imaginary Colours on the player below.

This all starts inside Dumb Records (1107 South Grand Ave East) at 7:00 pm tonight and is FREE. There is a $1 all you can eat VHS buffet going on as well. Find a facebook event for all of this right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page right here where you can see what else is coming up at Black Sheep and Dumb Records this fall.

It’s the weekend!! We have some fun things lined up at Black Sheep and Dumb Records tonight and tomorrow, starting with this slick punk show going on tonight at Black Sheep. This one features a newer Chicago group called “Nightcrawler” featuring members of bands who have performed at Black Sheep in years past. You can stream a song by them on the player below. The rest of the show features a handful of punk and alternative home grown right here in Springfield. This includes Graveswitcher – the new up and coming powerful hardcore band featuring members of every Springfield band ever. It also features Prowess, a band rumored to have recently played where no other bands have dared to play before in Springfield. And opening things up is the grunge/rock group Master Bastard.

This all starts tonight at 7:00 pm. Admission is $5. You should come out. Find a facebook event for the show right here. Also check out our shows page which we are working on updating on our site.

Surprise! We have a show for you all happening tonight (sorry we had not announced this one on our site earlier, we are working to get more on top of things we promise). This show tonight is going to be more of a *chill* indie gig, and it features national touring act Izzy True coming all the way from New York on Don Giovanni Records (same label as Screaming Females for those of you who do not know). Check out their latest album streaming on the player below to find out what that band (pictured above) is all about. Also on this show we have a gaggle of Springfield solo projects. This includes “F///\\\M“, who performed the blues festival a couple of weeks ago as “Chuck Mountain.” This also includes electronic / ambient project Imaginary Colours. Opening things up is a solo set by Kristin Walker (of the band Glower).

Tonight! We are excited for this hip hop show happening at Black Sheep tonight. We’ve even upgraded our sound system for this one, so be sure to come out to hear the improvement. We have all types of different hip hop and R&B artists performing tonight. At the top of the bill is a new Springfield R&B artist – “Nox Black”. Before that is long running Springfield rapper “Cornbread”. Nice.
