Happy Forth of July weekend everybody! As you can tell, we did not have a show at Black Sheep last night. Instead, we are just having one solid almost-all local show happening tonight. This should be a fun time. For this show we have Springfield’s youngest and rowdiest punk band, Panzys. Next up on the list is the power-trick-or-treat-indie band JAG. Don’t miss out on your chance to see them live in concert tonight. We also will be visited tonight by Peoria pop band, Howlback. Due to a slight lineup change tonight, we will have Austin Connelly playing in place of RDNT. Topping it all off there will be a performance by Mystery Gift.

The show tonight kicks off at 7:00 pm, and it’s 5 bands for $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 else coming up at Black Sheep and Dumb Records.

Who is ready to rumble? Tonight we have a little something different going on at Black Sheep Cafe. We’re hosting an event sponsored by Rich Taste Entertainment and Ozland photography called the Big Push Contest. According to the facebook event for tonight’s big extraveganza,

The contest is designed to give one lucky artist/band a shot at the big time. The winner/s of the contest will receive professional recording, a music video and digital distribution.

With placement on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, the X-Box store and hundreds more digital retailers plus a music video shot by Ozland Photography we will giving you that “Big Push” needed to take your music to the next level.

Wow! Who will win? Come out to the show tonight! Looks like so far we have a lot of underground acts such as Webacksoon, BDoug, Keithen Gardner, The MoonMen and much more. There will be no indie, punk or folk acts tonight because hip-hop has the floor and all the haters should come anyway. Why? Because it’ll be cool that’s why.

Come out at 7:00 pm and check out the tunes, there might be free candy, and entry fee is $7. Check out a facebook event for the show tonight right here. Make sure to also check out the other awesome shows we have coming up.
