Tonight we have an all-local showcase show happening at Black Sheep featuring four local bands, a lot of them being fairly new. Headlining the bill is the rambunctious punk act, Panzys. Panzys recently put out a self-titled release which you can stream on the player below. Before them is a newer two-piece (maybe three-piece tonight) instrumental band called Fel Fae. And before that we have the solo black metal band, “Sargent Karate Everyone Is So Pretty,” which was forged from our band lotto show last year. Opening things up is a very first performance by a brand new Springfield band, make sure to make it out to the show on time to catch that!

The show tonight starts 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 look at everything coming up at Black Sheep.

Tonight there is a killer five band show happening not just at Black Sheep, but bands tonight will be playing at both Black Sheep and Dumb Records. How are we doing that?! Well, one band is going to play at Black Sheep and then another is going to play at Dumb Records- but they won’t be going at the same time so you won’t miss a thing. This is also Kevin Bradford’s last show with us running things over at Black Sheep so make sure to come out and bring Kevin some coffee! Tonight we have Springfield hardcore/thrash band Diaper Rash, headlining over on the Black Sheep stage. Over on the Dumb stage we have one man band king, Evan Mitchell. Before that is the touring hardcore band from Milwaukee, Falter. Falter have come to Black Sheep a number of times before- you can check out their music streaming below. Before them inside Dumb Records is Daren Gratton of the band The Haddonfields. And opening things up is a brand new band called Leech Pit which we have been told features members of WARRS, Our Lady, Asthma, and Table Drama.

The show tonight starts right at 7:00 pm and admission is $5 for the whole show on both stages. You can check out a facebook event right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a look at everything else coming up at Black Sheep.
