Last Sunday a few of us met to discuss the upcoming Black Sheep Radio Show. We talked about what we want to have on the show and how we plan on organizing some of the music. Here is some of the things we are looking to have:

– interviews with bands
– new and old band recordings
– recordings from regional and national acts that will be playing Springfield soon
– bands play live in the studio
– funny segments highlighting the many personalities of Springfield’s music scene

Then a couple of days ago we started putting together music for the radio show. Right now we have a total of 64 albums and 568 songs, but those still need to be sorted through so we can determine which can be played on the radio. We really need the help from those of you in bands right now get music together. You can send us music in the form of mp3s to blacksheepspringfield@gmail.com or also give us CDs at any Black Sheep show. It would also be helpful if you told us which songs are radio friendly and which are not. Hosts for the show are also to-be decided.

The next roundtable meeting will be held at 7:00 pm Sunday December 2nd.

Black Sheep Radio Show: We Need Music!!

Yesterday we announced that we will be hosting a new radio show on WQNA sometime in the near future.

Guess what. Before we can launch the new radio show we need to collect enough music from local bands to air! If you play in a band or have in the past and have recorded music then we need you! Here are a couple of things you can do to help us.

– send mp3s or links to downloadable music to blacksheepspringfield@gmail.com
– drop of CDs of your music at Black Sheep during any show

And if you want to be super helpful in helping us collect local music, let us know which of your songs are and are not radio friendly. We want to build an archive of all the local music we can get, and it will be helpful to know which songs we can play on the radio right away and which will need some editing later on.

The sooner we get enough music the sooner we can launch the new Black Sheep radio show! Thank you for your help!

Also, we will be having a roundtable meeting tomorrow (Sunday) at 7:00 pm to discuss the radio show and other things. Anyone is invited to come.

After meeting with the director of WQNA 88.3 fm we are VERY excited to announce that Black Sheep will be hosting our very own radio show sometime in the near future on WQNA.

The focus of the show will be local music. Some of the kinks are still being worked out, but we do know that we will be featuring band interviews, live recordings of shows, and much more. There is some very exciting stuff in store for us in the future. We will keep you all updated on the show, and let you know when it will be aired when we can.

And now a message from Kevin:

Like times in the past with Black Sheep when an opportunity arises for us to do something new, we do it. If you wait too long to act nothing will happen. We are excited to do something completley new for us and that is radio. We are excited to work with WQNA and we are excited for the future. DIY till’ we die.
