Happy Halloween and first day of winter all at once!! Nobody told us that it was supposed to blizzard today! Looks like we will be celebrating Halloween tonight and then going sledding directly after. Tonight we do have a full lineup of bands at our space, despite the weather. At the top of the bill is punky punk act Foam Fangers from right here from our city’s very own dumpsters. Ah yes, and we have Holy Pinto! A band featuring at least one member from the United Kingdom. Stream their music on the player below. Also playing is… Blushe! And before that we’ve got the solo project based out of Decatur, Marble Teeth. Spooky! Opening things up is the absolutely terrifying, the completely ghoulish act from here and Peoria, Sadface Killer!

Wow what a slammin’ time that was had last night at our space. We are ready to slow things down a few notches and maybe chill out tonight with some nice acoustic music. At the top of the bill is the return of Kate Laine! We have not seen Kate in a minute! Stream some of her music on the player below. We also have Petersburg, IL based younger up and coming artist Emily Hough, as was featured on NBC’s “The Voice!” (She’s really really good). Also the return of HECK from Bloomington, Illinois, aka Hannah Songer. Opening things up looks like is Reggie & The Demons, aka our buddy Niko.

Uh oh, get ready for tonight because it’s going to be a heavy one. We got that big big hardcore band touring package for you. With the band “Mouth For War” at the top of the bill from Colorado Springs, Colorado. Stream their music on the player below. Actually the touring package is just two bands. The other band is Cold Shoulder coming from Toronto, Canada. Then we have three bands familiar to our space, including Capitol Offense from Decatur. And hold up! There has been a change to the lineup since the show was originally announced. Instead of Time And Pressure, there are TWO bands taking their place. Wow. One is Gumm from Tennessee, who did play at our space earlier this year. The other is “Gadget” from Minnesota. They are supposedly doing a split set or something or other. Opening things up is Prevention from right here, home grown in your backyard hardcore.

All of this big mega show starts at 7:00 pm tonight and admission is $10 this time around. Check out a facebook event for the show right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a good look at what else is coming up at our space in the near future.

Happy Sunday everyone, we did not have shows this past Friday or Saturday night but HERE is what is going on TONIGHT. Some type of really fast hardcore band from Madison, Wisconsin called “Mended” at the top of the bill. Stream their music on the player below. Also on this show we’ve got Final Order. Good, fast, local hardcore, you know the drill.  Then what’s this, we have a new hardcore band from Central Illinois called Bull Cult? Is this the band that we are thinking it is? Featuring members of Ghost Key and Black Teeth from long long ago? Or we might be crazy. Another power electronics / noise act called “Col2apse” on the bill. Is that just pronounced “Collapse”? Opening things up is a brand new new Springfield band playing their first show we know nothing about called “Oh Gosh.”

That show starts at 7:00 pm and admission is $7. Check out a facebook event for the show right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page where we keep and active list for everything we’ve got coming up.

Surprise! There is a wild and crazy punk show going on tonight at The Dumb Barn™ presented by Bob Evan’s. It’s a Thursday night! For this one we have the band Night Witch coming all the way from Tallahassee, Florida. Night Witch features a guy who presses small runs of records and *little fun fact* pressed the Eggman limited flex. He also played at Dumb Records like five years ago and at Black Sheep in another band like 10 years ago. His name is Tyler by the way. Stream some of Night Witch’s music on the player below. Speaking of Eggman, a newer Springfield band features members of Eggman called “Black Box” is playing. Who else is playing? Foam Fangers. Who is opening this show? Wait – there has been a slight lineup change to the show since it was first announced. Now instead of GRINN it’s Sorry Charlie! Sorry!

Good morning! Happy Monday! What a better way to kick off the week other than with a really solid show going on at Dumb Records tonight! We didn’t have any shows this weekend, instead we have this going on tonight. Spowder is coming to town all the way from New Brunswick, New Jersey, sent to us by Screaming Females themselves straight through the mail. Stream their music on the player below. There is also a solid lineup of local acts performing tonight. This includes Master Bastard, who have recently released their second album. Also The Telephone Junkies, you can never go wrong with them. And then opening things up is a brand new Springfield band called “No Good Deed” which we know nothing about! We don’t even know who’s in it!

Did you know we have a show going on at our space tonight? It’s just three bands, here on a Wednesday night. It will be good for you to come, as a nice mid-week treat. We have a band coming from California (the first from California to play our new downtown spot?) called Squarecrow. You can check ’em out on the player streaming below. Also two solid local acts are on this show, it’s gonna be good. Attic Salt is on this show, they are good. And guess what else, Starter Jackets are also on this show, they are also pretty good.

Happy fall, everybody. It’s fall outside. And October, and this is our first show in October happening tonight!! It’s an indie-rocker of sorts. First off, we had the opening act drop off, so we only have three acts lined up for tonight. Things will likely start at 7:20pm on the dot because of this change. So now starting things is going to be Skyler Duncan – the mythical / legendary futuristic prog-rock ambient trio that’s been making some sort of splash in town? Headlining the bill is Greenhouse Opera – the new full band project of Dexter Anodyne, who has played at our space plenty of times. And right in the middle there we have a newer local duo called Idle Oath that we are excited about! Stream their music on the player below!

This show starts at 7:20 pm now, and admission is $5. Check out a facebook event for the show right here. Also check out our shows page to check out what else is lined up at our place in the near future!

Tonight is THE night!! There are four bands playing tonight between a big main show and big aftershow at what is certainly a once in a lifetime chance to see Shonen Knife from Japan play for free right here in Springfield. That’s right if you haven’t heard by now we don’t know what, but Shonen Knife from Japan, formed in 1981, is playing at Rock N’ Roll Hardee’s. They are on their 22nd full length album, “Sweet Candy Power” and on a big U.S. tour! Stream one of their earlier albums below. They are coming through with The Hooten Hallers playing some rockabilly from Missouri. That show starts at 6:00 pm at Rock N’ Roll Hardee’s (2501 Stevenson Drive), and it’s FREE. Car pooling or finding elsewhere other than the main Hardee’s lot is encouraged. Find a facebook event for that one right here.

THEN, after that there is a big aftershow over at Dumb Records. That one features big Top Shelf Records touring duo Slingshot Dakota from western Pennsylvania somewhere. The Telephone Junkies will be kicking things off for that one, we are shooting to start things at 9:00 or so, or whenever makes sense from whenever Shonen Knife will be finishing their set. Find a facebook event for that one right here. That show is $8 admission.

There’s so much going on this weekend that we almost forgot that we do have an all local show lined up at Bread tonight. This one is going to be neat! A couple of the acts are hot off the open mic nights and straight onto this real deal show. Okay, so at the top of the bill is Starstuff – a fairly new local rock act that had played Black Sheep at one point towards the end of things. We don’t think they have anything online. There is also “Layers” – the poetry music fused duo and sometimes solo act. Come and eat it up with your ears. Reggie & The Demons is playing… who most of us know as “Niko”, this is the name of his new solo project that performed at our last open mic. Then opening things we have the bass / poetry fusion act Vetrell Yates, also playing his first real deal show at our space.

All of this starts at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. Check out a facebook event for this one right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a good look at what else is coming up at the near future.
