Everyone, we have a MONSTER show tonight, this setlist is huge! Let me fill you in on exactly what we will have the pleasure of experiencing this evening. Headlining tonight, we have Estates! They’re a fluid, alternative emo band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. These guys will be sure to lift spirits and start off the night with good vibes so look forward to seeing them! Then it will be Austin Connelly. That one dude you may have heard of that’s in a few bands. He’ll be performing on his own tonight. Who knows what he plans on doing!

To shift back into a more emo gear, we’ll be featuring the D.I.Y screamo band whenskiesaregray from Baltimore. They will be giving us a different take on despair and heartache but have no fear! These guys are awesome and will definitely provide a good set, so stick around for sure! Then, it will be the emotional, melodic hardcore band Ghost Key. These midwesterners are from Peoria so this will give you a chance to check out some stuff from Peoria’s scene. The evening will open up on an energetic note thanks to the local punkers Blank Gravestone. These guys always give exciting performances, so it’ll be a good end to a massively rad evening!

This, my friends, is all for the low price of $5. It’d be awesome if you could come out at 7pm and show some support. Here is the facebook event and you can also check out our upcoming shows to see who’ll be playing at Black Sheep in these upcoming midwestern fall months.

Here’s whenskiesaregray, give them a listen!

Tonight there’s this show happening at Black Sheep! This show is going to be a great indie/rock/acoustic show. Tonight is also special because it is the return of the band Mutts from Chicago. They played at Black Sheep back in May and you might remember them as the band that had that big old piano up on stage with them. Also playing this show and bringing the feel-good rock is local band Big Storm featuring local celebrity and Black Sheep Radio host Brandon Carnes. Opening the show up will be Tim Williams of Our Lady. Tim will be doing an acoustic set for us.

All of this starts at 7:00 pm tonight and it’s only $5. You can find a facebook event for the show right here, and you should also take a minute to check out what other shows are coming up at Black Sheep by looking at our shows page.

They play punk music and are going to show us a good time. Check out one of their live videos below. We also have Nephrons, the local pop punk band that recently put out a really good record. A newer addition to the show and playing their second show at Black Sheep is War Magic, the new two-piece dreamy folk project.

Ladies and gentleman, we’re going to have an uplifting show for you tonight! Despite what the flier says, Lovecow will not be playing but here is who will be! Starting us off will be the local and infamous Brandon Carnes with some awesome acoustic jams. Brandon is the frontman of the mighty and charismatic Big Storm and has played in many other bands, one being The Timmy’s. Both he and the lovely Jessica Knight, who is performing tonight also, are in the new band Looming which played their first set last night! Jessica Knight will also be performing an acoustic set this evening as well, so check them both out because they will have marvellous things to offer to us. Also playing tonight will be the local and well-loved Montagh! They make music that “makes you feel stuff” and their band interests are coffee and outkast, so come out and hear them play some awesome songs and hopefully tell some really bad jokes. Tonight we will also be hosting the smooth and catchy folk set Good Times, which is composed of Clint Kesinger. Coming from St. Louis, Good Times is a compilation of the tales of life experiences through the lense of introspection. It’s going to be rad!

So come out tonight and check out this mighty mellow and feel-good show, and you can check out the facebook event right here. The show starts right at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. Feel free to check out our upcoming shows because we are going to have A LOT this coming week, so don’t miss out!

Here’s to Good Times!

We have a particularly expressive show for you guys tonight. It’s going to be real! Check it out, here’s what we’ve got: The Outlook is an organization based in Massachusetts and one or a few of their advocates will be giving us some spoken word tonight. Their main concerns focus on human rights, especially when it comes to children and sexual matters. What they have to say will hopefully educate us on the heavier aspects of the darkness in the world as well as inspire us to do something about it! Further on in the evening,Nick Howells will gracing us with some really awesome piano tunes that are thoughtful and heartfelt, so it looks like we’ll have a rad spoken word performance and some simply beautiful piano songs to change things up and freshen our minds this evening. On the noise side of the spectrum we have IAMIAM, which features Austin Connelly of Springfield’s Montagh and Wir Konnen. His set is raw, reflective and brooding so be sure to check it out. Also check out the noise set Gazeebo, which is deliberate and full of honest rage from the depths of the mind. All of these performances are sure to be rewarding so stick around and check them all out!

The show kicks off at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. There’s possibly going to be a potluck so if you plan on coming to this (which you definitely should) bring food so that the “possibly” aspect of this sentence can turn into “definitely”! If you’re curious, go ahead and check out the facebook event. You can also check out our upcoming shows so you know what days to mark on your calendars!

We’ve got a spectacular line-up tonight for your enjoyment, ladies, gents, theys and its! From way back in the backwoods of Connecticut, we will be featuring the old-timey folk punkers Folk Y’All! These guys will make you want to stomp your feet and dance with their banjo pickin, wash-tub playing, accordian pumping tunes. Portland based SowthTowne Lanes will also be joining us this evening! Check out their brand spanking new E.P on their bandcamp! These guys will grace us with some alternative pop-punk riddled with emotion and energy, so definitely look forward to hearing them. Bringing us back to the folk-punk end of the spectrum will be our very own Lovecow! Filled with manic wit, wholesome folksy tunes and mega-popular hits, these folks are sure to please as always.

The local band Montagh will be performing tonight as well! Their folk-punk tunes are emotional, plodding and just plain swell. They’re sure to put on a good set as always. Following them we will be receiving mysterious gifts from Mystery Gift! Probably pieces of home furnishing. This is going to be their first show, so give some support and check them out! Another marvelous act we’ll be featuring tonight is Paqui Persea. He’ll be giving us an acoustic explosion, according to the facebook event, so don’t miss out!

This will be at the Black Sheep Cafe at 6:30 pm! Bring $5 to see six bands! If that’s not a bang for your buck, I don’t know what is. You rule! Here’s a diddy by the spectacular fellows of Folk Ya’ll so give it a listen. While you do that, check out these upcoming shows! 

“The weather tonight is going to be clear” says the Wizard On the Folk Y’All album. 

This show is going to be monumental! This is Scott Blacula‘s LAST SHOW, ladies and gents. That’s right, it’s true. Do you want to know why? To sum it up, The Pukester (their frontman) has made it very clear to Black Sheep that Scott Blacula is fed up with the conditions under which they perform (if you could even call them performers). This post explains it all, my friends. They will be gladly missed. Next on the line-up we have Endeavor, a heavy, progressive and melodic band from the beautiful land of Fredericksburg, Virginia. These guys are here to bring the heart back into hardcore, so expect their music to both convey and invoke some intensity and emotion. It’ll be rad!

Following Endeavor is the physical embodiment of pizza: Hometown Heavyweights! Coming from the wholesome area of of Central Illinois, they are sure to bring us some inspiring and grounded pop-punk tunes so stick around and check them out! Following their set, we’ll experience the very first Black Sheep show of Deviant! These fellows come from Central Illinois as well and are happy to bring us some melodic hardcore this evening so look forward to experiencing their devious antics. Last but not least! Quincy Curran will be playing a mysterious acoustic set for us this evening. It may be all at once or it may be scattered and esoteric. Who knows! Come to the show tonight at 7 pm and find out after you pay five bucks!

Looky looky, here’s a song by Hometown Heavyweights! Check out their bandcamp for a free download of their jams. Also, be sure to check out the facebook event for this fine occasion as well as the upcoming shows we’ll be hosting.
