December 28th at Black Sheep: Movie Screening + Paqui, Honey/Suck, SAP, King Worm

ummmmThe cold weather is bringing us some hardcore heat, as you can see by this double feature show and local movie screening happening in December. This Saturday night treat will start off with a show happening in Black Sheep featuring all local acts. Starting off the night will be the ever fascinating Paqui, who plans on taking us on an adventure with him through his set. Moving the night along will be Honey/Suck, which will be a whole hearted portrayal of emotions through spoken word and possibly musical accompaniment as well. Then, local contemporary punk band SAP will be playing some dance tunes for everyone to enjoy. To close the music portion of the night off will be King Worm, who will blow you away with their squishy spiker jams.

Come to Black Sheep Cafe on Friday, December 28th and enjoy the tunes of local Springfield bands. This will kick off at 6:00 pm; please bring $6 to support the local scene! After the musical portion of the night, make sure to head over to Dumb Records at 9:00 pm for a local movie screening! The movie is called Death Metal, directed by David Castor. This movie looks amazing: check out the trailer. It’s not very often that movie screenings–let alone local movie screenings– happen in these parts, so don’t miss out! This opportunity is a delicacy. For more heavy metal, check out this video below of King Worm playing Hobgoblinspookadelic to get a taste for what’s in store.
