Stream one of the singles off of their new album below. Then we have the Central Illinois based shoegaze band Lavender playing here at Black Sheep, possibly for the first time since their EP release show earlier this year?

This includes Staghorn from St. Louis who also played here back in April. Then the fifth band on the bill is “Hikes” from Austin, Texas and if you don’t like it you can go take a hike, mike!

We just got done with a weekend full of theater at Black Sheep, and now with it being Monday it’s time to get back into the swing of things with some regular shows. Just like magic our space has transformed from a theatrical living room with rows of seats back into a show space. Tonight we have a show featuring Springfield 90’s alternative rock band The Complaint Line. Then we have the interesting and experimental group The Cell Phones from Chicago, you can stream some of their music on the player below. Also on the bill before all that we have the three-piece band Moondead. Opening things up tonight it looks like we have the surfy durfy local band The Suction Cups.

All of that tonight will be kicking off at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. You can find a facebook event for the show right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a good look at everything coming up at Black Sheep in the next few months.

We have a five band metal show going on at Black Sheep tonight! It’s a Monday night, and also our only show happening this week between Black Sheep Fest and something special that we have coming up this weekend (big website post coming up this afternoon). Tonight we have heavy hitting metal band Set Fire To Salem. We also have the Decatur-based metal band called “Grays Divide” which you can find streaming on the player below. Then we have two touring acts from what it looks like. This includes Echo of Silence from Detroit, Michigan. They will also be touring along with “Dyne Side” all the way from Miami, Florida. Opening things up we have the Central Illinois/Carlinville-based instrumental metal band Noesis.

The show tonight will be starting 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 for a look at what other shows we have left this summer and into the fall.

Tonight is the only show happening at Black Sheep this weekend (there is Downhome Music Festival happening tonight and tomorrow night downtown). There have been a few changes and additions to the lineup tonight since it was first announced. Let’s take a look at what we have going on now. We still have the touring punk act from North Carolina- Menthol on the bill. Stream some new music of theirs on the player below. Sadly, The Brain who they were touring with had to drop. We will have punk/hardcore band Pryss on board. Then we have a couple of additions. We have Chicago/Champaign supergroup hardcore band HUSH making a return since playing Dumb Fest 4-Ever. Then opening things up we have the groovy and sweet Shark Week!

This show will start 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 is coming up at Black Sheep in the near future.

It’s been a minute since we’ve gotten to say this, but here’s a show announcement featuring Looming! For those of you unfamiliar, Looming is an indie/punk band originally based out of Springfield that has had two of their four members move far across the country within the past six months. Last time they played a show here was… in March. Now they will be playing at Black Sheep at the end of a tour recently announced with Lemuria. The show will be happening on Sunday, August 21st. Sorry but Lemuria will not be playing the Springfield show. We do however have a good lineup aside from Looming featuring Champaign-Urbana’s own Euriah. Also on the bill is the recently name-changed band “Vonne” (we’ll let you guess what this band was formerly known as).

Mark your calendars for this one, this show will start at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. You can check out a facebook event for this show right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a look at what’s coming up this summer, we are updating things!

We are excited for this one tonight. We’ve had a couple of last minute lineup changes but looks like what we’ve ended up with tonight is still one solid rock show happening for you all. Tonight we have the mighty HOUND coming from Philadelphia to rock our socks off (featuring members of Bad Side and Ted Leo & The Pharmacists). Check out some of their music playing below. We also have the out of control hardcore bar band, Livin’ Thing shaking things up tonight. What will those boys come up with this time? We also have a last minute switchup to the lineup- and that is now Undone is playing in place of Copper Blue who are unable to make it. Opening things up is a new Springfield project called “Chili Mac”, also just performing as a two-piece tonight because things didn’t go exactly as planned. Everything should still be great though!

The show tonight starts at 7:00 pm. Bring $6 for the show! Check out a facebook event for this one right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a complete list of everything coming up at Black Sheep the next couple of months.
