Ready for another cool show at Black Sheep? Today we are bringing you news of one happening on Sunday, August 17th. That’s right, this one will be happening the day after our big Band Lotto show where there will be new bands bursting out the seams of South Town.

Our summer wouldn’t be complete without that Friday night hot and sweaty pop punk show (although things won’t be as sweaty inside Black Sheep with our new heating/cooling system). On Saturday, July 18th we have a show for local pop punkers Kickstart. The big time touring band on this bill is called The Moms from New Jersey. They are on punk record label Paper + Plastick Records and you can find some of their music streaming below. Other than that we have the mighty Central Illinois-based melodic hardcore band, Deviant. It has been a little while since they have taken the stage at Black Sheep. To complete the lineup we have a performance by pop-punk band Fill In The Blank.

This show will start at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. You can find this show listed along with many more Black Sheep shows on our shows page.

Hey! We have a cool show sandwhich coming up on Monday, July 14th. It’ll be hosting the local tween pop band King Worm, so make sure to plug your nose for that one. Then we’ll hear some hardcore crud from Missouri based Blackhole. Check out some of their music streaming below. Another band playing that night called New Heart coming from Indianapolis will fork out some brutal jamz, then to finish the sandwhich off we’ll have the sensitive crooners in Panzys tie everything up really well. It’s sure to be a great show!

That’ll be coming up on July 14th with the usual 7:00 pm show starting punk time, $5 at the door. You can find a facebook event for this show right here. We have alot of other cool shows coming up both before and after that so check our shows page out! And in the words of Blackhole, keep spitting.

Looks like we have another show lined up for this summer that will be going in the record books. We are very excited to announce that on Wednesday, August 27th we will be hosting a show for hardcore/powerviolence band IRON LUNG from Seattle, Washington. If that’s not enough for you, you might be interested in hearing that Iron Lung will be touring with UNA BÉSTIA INCONTROLABLE from Spain. We are very excited to welcome both bands to our space for the first time. This show will also feature two Springfield punk/hardcore bands Asthma and Soap Scum.

This show will start at 7:00 pm and admission will cost $7. You can find a facebook event for this one soon. Also check out our shows page for a look at what else is coming to Black Sheep this summer.

It’s time to announce another smashing show at Dumb Records, this time happening on Thursday, July 10th. This show is going to be mostly acoustic, but don’t be surprised when you find a few amps and a little bit of rock n’ roll at the show. This show will feature Adam Balbo from Oakland, California. Adam plays some folky garage pop type stuff that you can find streaming below. Also on this show is a rare performance by Springfield noise/ambient project Borealis featuring Mario Cannamela of Soap Scum and I’m Dead Inside. You know that no Dumb Records show is complete without a solo acoustic performance by Austin Connelly, which will happen again at this show. Then to top it off we have another very rare performance by Springfield video game themed instrumental rock band Like… With Jetpacks!

This show is kicking off at 7:00 pm. Bring $5 for the touring act. You can find a facebook event for this right here. Also check out our shows page for a list of all events coming up at Black Sheep and Dumb Records.
