Did you know we have something going on tonight? It’s a show, and it’s only three acts! There were two touring acts that had to drop off the bill unfortunately, but we won’t talk about them. Instead, we have a three act local show featuring indie-pop group Kate The Band from right here in our own hometown. You can stream some of their music on the player below. Also on the bill is… Marble Teeth, from Decatur. Marble Teeth is actually doing a short tour and this is the kickoff for that. Opening things up is Alyssa Currie of the band Attic Salt performing a solo set.

That show starts here at 7:00 pm and admission is just $5! 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 here in the year 2020!

Today we bring you a local release that is another one that came out late last year in December (maybe even November?)! That comes from hip hop artist RJC, who is part of the Zippr collective along with Kid Ziggy, Papa Luke and more. RJC’s new album is called Right Mind, and you can find it on a good number of streaming platforms all listed out right here. You can also stream one of the tracks, “Feel Nothin'” featuring Kid Ziggy and Kdoe2x on the player below. RJC performed along with Zippr Collective at our most recent hip hop show late last month, which was also a benefit for Springfield Community Broadcasters.

We are listing this one as well for 2019 on our Springfield album archive page.

Oh well big whoops, we have not officially announced this show on our site yet. This is going to be a big one because it’s the first show at our space that Jeff Black of The Radon Lounge is involved in setting up since he’s joined our team. This one is happening on Sunday, January 19th at Dumb Records. This one features two touring acts, and some surprises. The touring act at the top of the bill is Slow Mass from Chicago. This band features members of bands that have performed at Black Sheep over the years, and you can listen to some of their music on the player below. The other act is a duo called Turtledoves from Cincinnati Ohio, featuring two members that were a part of the band Soil & The Sun, which Jeff had booked at Radon Lounge before. For locals… wow, what is this we have the band Mother Leopard back from the dead from the year 2009. Also from 2009 and even earlier than that is Kirk Donely of the bands The Transatlantic and Sealife?!? (Okay, he currently plays in The Dandelion Pickers).

This whole show starts at 7:00 pm on that day and it’s $7 admission. Mark your calendars. Here is 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 our space in the near future.

Springfield / Taylorville American Surf Rock band “Sonic Maximizer” (recently changed from “Snuff Rider” after an ongoing lawsuit with a German 80’s pop project of the same name), have released a brand new song and video out online. The song is called “Murphy Brown” and you can check it out on the band’s facebook page right here. Sorry, but we aren’t going to even try to embed the facebook player below, we hadn’t had any luck the last time we tried doing such a thing.

Sonic Maximizer don’t have any live shows lined up with as far as we know, however this song does come from an upcoming album of theirs to be released later this year.

Are you ready for all of the new local music that’s about to be coming out in the year 2020?! We haven’t even posted the results from our best of 2019 series yet!

The video was shot and edited by Jayy Wills Entertainment.

We’ve included this one in our long list of music videos from over the years by local artists on our vids/pics page. Deezy Da Paperboy just recently performed at our space a week or so ago as part of a recent benefit for Springfield Community Broadcasters.
