Happy Fourth of July everyone! Tonight we have a special mixed-genre show to celebrate the Fourth. It is sure to be a blast. Tonight we have Springfield long-running hardcore punk band Pound For Pound. They are coming up on fourteen years as a band, and they have a show later on in August to celebrate their anniversary as a band. Next up we have the return of Black Mask, the fast and heavy hardcore band from Pennsylvania. The last time they played here was in October. Next up is Big Storm! They might be the odd band out on this bill, but that won’t stop them from bringing the feel-good rock and bringing it hard. Opening the show up is Execution Techniques. It has also been some time since we have seen a performance by them inside of Black Sheep.

The show starts at 7:00 pm. Admission is $5. A facebook event can be found right here. You can also check out what other shows we have coming up this summer on our shows page.
