Unfortunately we have to let you all that the show that was once scheduled to happen at Black Sheep tonight has recently been canceled. Sorry. For those of you who pre-bought tickets you can get refunded from the bands you purchased them from. If you are bored and looking for something to do today or tonight, that’s okay! Dumb Records will be open from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm today. Stop in and get some records, or just hang out.

The Radon Lounge will also be hosting another open mic night, so it might be worth checking that out! That show starts at 7:00 pm and you can find more information on that one right here.

With Dumb Records now being officially up and running, we thought it would be a good idea to let all of you know that product request forms are available for anyone and everyone! This means that if there is a certain record you want us to order for you, we’ll try our best to track it down and get it to our store. We also want to add that with every product we get as a result of you filling out our product request form, you will receive 10% off on that item. We have product request forms available at our store and also online, which you can find by clicking the link below.

Also make sure to keep up with South Town news by signing up for our weekly mailing list! By doing so you can stay updated on what records are coming around Dumb Records as well as the shows coming up at Black Sheep!

Dumb Records will continue to run from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and also 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm on nights there are shows at Black Sheep. Since there are shows both Friday and Saturday this upcoming weekend at Black Sheep, Dumb Records will be open from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm both days.

Today is a very big day for South Town and our music community! We’ve been filling you all in for awhile on the development of Dumb Records and the grand opening is finally HERE! After the weeks of painting, remodeling our space and collecting cool records, tapes, shirts and CDs, we’re finally ready to greet the world. This is exciting for everyone involved- including you! We will be happy to be a fresh Springfield connection for all music-from local bands, classic oldies, bands from the surrounding areas and hopefully even cool bands from other countries. This should give South Town a nice boost and give people more opportunities to get involved, so if you’re interested in getting involved or donating come around today and talk to us about it!

Dumb Records will be open at 10:00 am and the grand opening festivities will kick off at noon. Come in at any time until 9:00 pm and check out all of our records, cds, tapes and shirts and hang out. Not only are we opening this record store today, there’s going to be a full fledged art show featuring everything from spoken work to acoustic acts to local artwork taking place in the Black Sheep! Check out the facebook event to get the details on all of the acts we’ll be featuring. This whole day is going to be an extraveganza so try to come around and help us welcome this new addition to South Town! You can find Dumb Records at 1107 South Grand avenue, right next to Skanks Skates and Black Sheep Cafe. The events themselves will be free but bring around your spare dough to buy some records and get dumb.

As you all probably know, Springfield’s newest record store Dumb Records will be having their official grand opening tomorrow (Saturday) with a great big celebration and Black Sheep art show from 12:00 to 9:00 pm. We hope you can make it out and check out the new record store as well as some wonderful artists, acoustic acts, and spoken word acts. For all of the information you can handle the grand opening, go here.

Today we are going to be giving the record store a test-run. We are planning on being open from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, so come on by if you want to be one of the first to see what we have in store. We are also going to be able to sell records but we might not have our credit card reader 100% up and going, so you might want to have some cash on hand! See you at Dumb!
