We don’t see too many live performances from legendary Springfield punk band NIL8 these days, so we see it important to mention when the band announces any shows in the area. The band just announced a show happening the day after Christmas on Friday, December 26th at Donnie’s Homespun. Check out a video of a recent NIL8 practice in South Town Studio below, featuring the band’s original lineup. The show is going to be with Springfield alternative rock band boon, and an out of town guest- Mr. Clit And The Pink Cigarettes from Indianapolis. Another wildcard on this show is the mysterious Diaper Rash– the new hardcore band with unknown members playing their first show here at Black Sheep this Saturday.

This show at Donnie’s Homespun starts at 8:30 pm. The cover is $5 and the show is all ages. You can find a facebook event for the show right here. Also be sure to check out our Springfield shows page for a list of shows happening outside of Black Sheep.
