Exciting things are happening at The Radon Lounge as they have just recently launched a brand new website! If you head over to www.theradonlounge.com you can find a lengthy “about” section, a news feed, a list of upcoming shows, and much more! The great and beautiful website layout may remind you all of another certain site. You can also find a page on the Radon site describing “The Horse Show” on June 15th, which is the Radon Lounge’s big summer event. From the “about” section:

Springfield, IL has a thriving punk scene to go with the cover and country bands and sprinklings of other genres. Although Jeff and Cat personally appreciate most forms of music, their vision for the Radon Lounge is to serve the underrepresented genres and provide a safe, loving, and chill atmosphere for those who really enjoy going to shows to hear the music. In music geek terms, the Radon Lounge is the shoegaze to the established Springfield punk scene, although they may end up being more Flock of Seagulls… time will tell.

Don’t forget there is also a show going on at The Radon Lounge tomorrow night! That show includes Brian Lee & His Orchestra, End Times Quartet, Karen Koenig, and Austin & Austin. You can find a facebook event here. There is a Black Sheep show tomorrow night too, so you will have to pick which one to attend, or go to both! Whatever you do don’t sit at home!
