Tonight we are trying some new things, and that is going to be our first (or first in a while) full-on full-electric hardcore punk show inside of Dumb Records! We were originally doing this three-band show inside the store because there was something else being set up inside Black Sheep. No show in Black Sheep now, but we are going to continue with the late show inside of Dumb because why not. We have a hardcore band coming from Austin, Texas called Sudden Attack on the bill. You can check them out on the music player below. We also have Death Cult touring with them and also from Texas. Then the third and opening band on this bill is a brand new Springfield band featuring members of Green Messiah, Garter, and GUSH called “Undone.” Make sure to catch them and see what that is all about.

The show tonight is going to be 9:00 pm inside of Dumb Records. We will be taking donations for the touring acts (suggested $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 this summer.

It’s a Friday night, and there is a show happening tonight at Black Sheep! This one is mostly a metal show, but it does have a few twists looks like. We have the alternative metal band “Odds of an Afterthought” coming from Minneapolis, Minnesota. You can stream some of their music on the player embedded below to find out more of what they are about. Also on tour is a band called “Of Brighter Skies” and they come from somewhere up in Wisconsin. Then we have three local bands on the bill, including the solid metalcore act Set Fire To Salem. Then a couple of surprises- we have the new hardcore/grind three-piece Torture Trend on this bill. Then opening things up looks like we have the Psychadelic rock band from Jacksonville- Flamingo.

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 else is coming up at Black Sheep in the near future.

Tonight, there might not be a Super Moon in the sky but there will be one in our venue. We have the band “Super Moon” (pictured above) coming from Omaha, Nebraska. What are they about? Looks like they play some type of “moon rock” and you can find their music streaming on the player below. This show will also be a tour kick-off show for Decatur, Illinois’s very own Mammoth Cannon, and will also be their first time performing at Black Sheep. Come say “hi” and “bye” to them. Opening things up looks like we have the very psychedelic and very groovy Jacksonville-based band Flamingo taking the big stage.

This show will start at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. You can find a facebook event for this one right here. And of course check out our shows page for a good look at what else is coming up this summer at Black Sheep.

It’s a Saturday night and there is a show happening at Black Sheep! Tonight will be the new album release show for Fill In The Blank. The band has a new album dropping for this show being called I Heart Mom. We have another four bands on the bill, including “The Great Indoors” and “Tomorrowz End” neither of which have played at Black Sheep before from what we know of, so expect some new things! (Both of those two bands are actually touring it turns out!) check out some music from The Great Indoors from Michigan below. We also haveStereo Static on the bill, the new alternative/pop-punk project. Then opening things up for this show is the three-piece pop group The Locals.

This show is another 7:00 pm and $5 entry show. 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 else is coming up at Black Sheep in the near future.

Tonight we can’t believe how super-solid of a pop punk show is going on at Black Sheep. We are talking about the good kind of pop punk here, and then a touch of other stuff to make for an all around good show. We have a couple of bands who haven’t played here in a minute. Tonight Horrible Things will be coming as part of their summer tour- featuring Tim Reynolds originally from Springfield, moved to Champaign, then moved to Chicago. [Now the band is based out of Chicago]. Stream their newest LP on the player below. We also have Springfield pop punk greats, Hospital Job who have also not played here in a minute. Then we have everyone’s favorite grunge punk band SAP taking the stage. And looks like up first we have the second ever show for a new Springfield band called Attic Salt that we are excited about.

The show tonight starts at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. You can find 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 Black Sheep in the near future.
