Tonight we have an intense five-band punk banger going on at Black Sheep that will be one not to miss. It will go by quick. Tonight we are lucky to have the band Prom Nite coming all the way from Toronto, Canada. Check out their music on the player below. We also have a new Peoria powerviolence project playing their first Black Sheep show called “Stye“- featuring members who have played in bands here in the past. For local bands we have the heavy-hitting hardcore slam band Pryss on deck. We also have the fast punk band Say Something bringing the circle pits. Opening things up is the new punk band featuring a five year old that everyone has been raving about- Statues of The Dead.

All of this is starting right at 7:00 pm (Statues of the Dead goes first), and admission this time around is $6. You can find 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 happening at Black Sheep for the next month or so.

Let’s face it- in this town you’re either into metal and metal shows, or you’re into comedy and having a good laugh, OR you’re into both. There isn’t anybody out there who dislikes both, right? So tonight we definitely have something for everybody happening in Southtown with a metal show starting at 7:00 pm inside Black Sheep and a comedy show starting at 9:00 pm inside Dumb Records.

Happening first is a five band metal show at Black Sheep featuring The Convalescence from Toledo, Ohio and who are no strangers to Black Sheep. This time around they will be bringing a touring package including Apothica from Houston, Texas. Then we also have a band on tour called Dead Eyes Always Dreaming from Kalamazoo, Michigan. You can check out some of their music streaming on the player below. All of this will come with local support from Through Burning Eyes (from around here), and Grays Divide (from Decatur). This show will start right at 7:00 pm and you can check it out for $10. Find a facebook event for this one right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a complete look at everything coming up at Black Sheep in the next few weeks.

Then inside Dumb Records we will be hosting a few comedians in the store as the metal show next door in Black Sheep is coming to a close. The comedians on deck include Dan Alten from Bloomington, Indiana and Eric Sorgel from Nashville, TN- both of which did a comedy/hardcore split show with Diaper Rash at one point a little over a year ago. It was a good time. This time around we have Brandon Judd, comedian from St. Louis opening things up for them, and also possibly a little bit by Devon Fluelen? The comedy show will be likely starting inside Dumb Records around 9:00 pm. We are taking $5 donations for the touring comedians. You can check out a facebook event for this one right here.

Looks like we got one of those five-band punk shows happening at Black Sheep just one week from today. (Sorry we are still behind on our show announcements here and catching up)! This one features heavy hardcore band Bruise from Indiana, whose music you can find streaming on the player below. Also on tour and on the bill for this show is Short Leash from Michigan. Then we even have a third out of state band, and that is “Hanging Moon” from Nashville, Tennessee. All of this will be joined with local support from the Springfield party girl band GUSH.

This show will start at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. You can check out a facebook event for this one right here. Also check out our shows page for a look at what else is coming up this September at Black Sheep.
