Friday, November 9th will be a metal show that is sure to melt the copper tiles from our ceiling right off.  We will all enter the grim and frosty realm of metal act Øde Vinter from Champaign.  Witchweed from Taylorville features sludge and stoner metal.  Local villains Scott Blacula will also be playing.  Buffalo Witch is coming from the city of doom – Grand Rapids Michigan.  Finally, the wizards of Thorr-Axe will be tearing up the walls with their heavy doom metal.

The show will start at 7:00 pm and admission is $6.  You can find a facebook event for the show here.  Also be sure to check out our other upcoming shows over at our shows page.

Calling all zombies.  The Timmys and boon will be playing this upcoming Saturday at Brewhause for an annual “Zombie Prom.”  The show is 21+ but there will also be an all ages zombie walk beforehand at Lincoln park going from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.  At the zombie walk there will be a costume contest and more activities.  Find the Springfield Zombie Walk facebook page here.

The Timmys will likely be playing some new songs off of their upcoming full length, which they recently announced will be released at both of this years Hobgob shows.

Boon will be playing one of their last shows with their current drummer Kevin.  They will also be playing the Hobgob show on October 27th at Donnie’s Homespun.  Johnny from boon had this to say:

Our last two shows with best friend/drummer, Kevin, are soon to come. Without him, boon is sure to be a different animal, entirely. He will be missed by a great many people even though he’s only been around a short time. I don’t think anyone will miss him as much as me. Thank you all for such great support.
