Hey there is a show going on at Dumb Records tonight! It’s the only show we have lined up for this chill weekend too so let’s just come out and groove. That one is going to be mostly acoustic acts. For this one we have a group returning from the UK called “Holy Pinto” – they had performed up in Southtown Studio when that was active under Brandon Carnes a few years back. Stream some Holy Pinto beans on the player embedded below. Up before that is our good friend Isaac Arms of Heirship Records performing some tunes. Also on deck is Bernie Flesch, our other good friend from Bar None. Hi Bernie! We also have an act lined up called “Marble Teeth” from Decatur. Who’s that? Is that the guy from the band Spooky Poo? Who knows! Opening things up looks like we have Kate Ridge, who recently recorded some material up in Southtown Sound on the way soon.

This show starts in the record store at 7:00 pm that night. Admission we are asking $5-7 to go towards the touring act. 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 in Southtown this summer.

This one is happening tonight, and completes a long streak of 5 shows we’ve had over here in Southtown in the past 6 days. Come out and say “hi”. Tonight we’ve got a couple of touring acts from Texas as well as a couple of locals. Pretend I’m Not There is headlining the bill tonight, B.J. Pearce’s solo ambient stuff. Then from Austin, Texas the touring band we’ve got lined up tonight is the band “Leche.” Stream two of their tracks on the player below. Leche will be touring with another solo act called “Grady Drugg” who will also be playing the show tonight.

Stream some of Runaway Brother’s newer music on the player embedded below. Runaway brother will be touring with the solo project “Farseek” also from Ohio and also familiar to the Black Sheep stage.

We hope everyone had a great fourth of the month yesterday, now it’s time for the fifth of July so we are getting into serious business. Starting now we’ve got five shows in the next six days lined up in Southtown. Tonight we have two touring acts and a few locals. At the top of the bill is the local rock band Stereo Static. The main touring act on this one is pop punk band Acceptable Losses from Albuquerque, New Mexico. When was the last time we had a band from New Mexico play at Black Sheep? Also on tour from a different Springfield somewhere in Missouri is the band “Searching for Nostalgia” (what kind of band name is that)? Opening things up we have the rock grunge Taylorville act Stick People, and also a solo performance by the charming Matt LaMarca. Nice.

This show will start right at 7:30 pm and admission is $5. Check out a facebook event for the show right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page to see what else is coming up this summer at Black Sheep.

WOW, last night was absolutely incredible and we can not say just how blessed we are to be able to have hosted legendary Springfield bands Food & Money and Backwards Day on our stage. Food & Money will also be playing with another reuniting Springfield band – Flock of Tooters – at The Curve Inn for an ages 21+ show that same night. But also tonight at Black Sheep we have a pretty happening punk and hardcore show going on! This includes the band Maniac from Massachusetts whose music is out of control. Probably going last on this bill (and not touring) is the local space band Starlorde. Up before all of that we have two touring bands from Texas. That includes Sex Ray Vision from San Antonio, Texas and also “MedusSsa” also from San Antonio. Stream some of that Sex Ray Vision on the player below. Opening things up is the newer Central Illinois based hardcore band Magma Diver, who don’t currently have any music recorded.

This show starts at 7:00 pm and admission is $5 (wow that’s too dang cheap). Check out a facebook event for this one right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a look at what else is coming up at Black Sheep this summer.

Check it out we’ve got another show happening tonight. This one is just three bands kicking off at our spot at 7:00 pm. Tonight is actually the first Black Sheep show being set up by Bedrock 66 Live, so we are excited for that. Tonight we have the indie / alternative pop band Moment 44 coming to Black Sheep on tour from Ohio. That’s them pictured on the bottom right. You can also stream some of their music on the player below. Moment 44 will be joined by local support from two bands. We got Stereo Static rocking it on the stage tonight.

That’s three bands, starting at 7:00 pm at Black Sheep for $5. Check out a facebook event for that one right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a look at everything else we have lined up at Black Sheep this summer.

We do have a show going on tonight at Black Sheep and it’s the last show before Dumb Fest 5 kicks off in one week! Tonight’s show is going to be nothing short of a great one too- we have the band Wildhoney coming from Baltimore, Maryland. This show will also feature “Stick People” performing their first show at Black Sheep since their name change from “Stems.” The band has also been hard at work recently up in Southtown Sound, but we are still waiting on those hot new tracks to be released! Before that is Decatur-based pop punk band Gadget. Then we have had a slight change to the lineup since the show was first announced and from the flier – now opening the show is Kate Ridge (instead of Lorin).

This show will start right 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 everything coming up at Black Sheep this summer.

They will be coming here with the punk band “Trash Knife” from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who will also be performing tonight. Check out some music from Trash Knife on the player below.
