It’s time to get that dusty old karaoke machine up and running (for the first time) at Dumb Records tonight because we are trying new things and hosting a karaoke night, oh boy! We are kicking things off tonight in the record store with two touring bands, and then getting into the karaoke. Those bands are Bleeding Gums and Cohete from Chicago- both bringing the rock n’ roll and punk. Check out Cohete’s brand new tour tape on the player embedded below. Then after that we are going to dive into the karaoke which will be on a projector screen in the store. Anything goes, and anyone is welcome to participate.

Tonight inside Dumb Records starts at 7:30 pm. We are asking for $3 for the touring acts. Check out a facebook event for the show right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a look at everything coming up in Southtown this spring.

We didn’t have any shows planned at Dumb Records or Black Sheep this weekend (we are setting one up at Cafe Andiamo downtown this Sunday) before yesterday – and now we have decided to take on a last minute fun event in the record store this Saturday, March 18th (in just two days)! We have Chicago-based hardcore bands Bleeding Gums and Cohete had a show fall through elsewhere and now here we are to the rescue. Both bands will be performing inside the store at 7:30 pm and then a karaoke party will take place. We have a two microphone and laptop – projector setup for this. Stream some of Cohete’s brand new music on the player below. Bleeding Gums also played Dumb Fest last year on the big Rock N’ Roll Hardee’s stage.

The show will start inside Dumb Records promptly at 7:30 pm. We are asking for $3 for the touring acts. Check out a facebook event for this one right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a good look at what else is coming up this spring in Southtown.
