Two Band After-Show (Latex + Blank Spell) at South Town Studio This Friday

Posted on December 30, 2014 by blacksheepspringfield

This is one show scheduled to happen at Black Sheep this weekend and that is the show Friday (January 2nd) featuring Moonassi, Family Hearse, Knives, and Gas Up Yr Hearse. Today we have a little twist being added to that show, and that is a two-band after show featuring to two Philadelphia bands. Those bands include the female-fronted Hardcore project Latex, and also a similar sounding band called Blank Spell. You can stream some of Latex’s music on the player below. The two bands will be playing up in South Town Tower right as soon as all four bands get done playing at Black Sheep. The cost and start time of the show is going to stay the same, making for an all around great night.

Things will still be starting off at Black Sheep at 7:00 pm, and admission is $5. You can find a facebook event for the show and after show right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a long list of everything coming up at Black Sheep and Southtown.
