Just a reminder that we do not have any shows going on this weekend at Black (the next one isn’t until Wednesday), November 9th with the Pretend I’m Not There tape release show, but we are hosting a benefit event for the Absurdist People’s Theater Troupe tonight! This is going to be a Rocky Horror Picture Show themed fundraiser. Come dressed as your favorite Rocky character if you so wish and there will be games to participate in and also food.

The fundraiser is $5 entry, and then we have been told there will be certain games set up for $1. This will go from 7:00 to 10:30 pm. Proceeds will be going towards The Absurdist People’s Theater Troupe and their next production and also to Black Sheep. Check out a facebook event for all of that right here. Also check out our shows page for a closer look at everything coming up at Black Sheep and Southtown this fall / winter.

It is looking like we don’t have a whole lot of shows lined up for November here at Black Sheep and Southtown, but we will say that the ones that we do have lined up are looking killer! This is one that is happening on Saturday, November 12th in just ten days. This show features the band Toxic Womb coming from Columbus, Ohio. Check out their music streaming on the player below. We also have the wacky Champaign/Urbana-based punk band Gnargoyle, who we have not seen in a minute. Gnargoyle also released a split recently with the infamous Springfield rash rock group Diaper Rash. Very cool. Up before that we have the space-themed Star Trek enthusiast band “Starlorde”. And opening things up we have hardcore project GRINN to put a smile on all of our faces.

This show will start at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. Check out a facebook event for this one right here. And of course be sure to check out our shows page for a good look at everything else coming up this fall/winter at Black Sheep.
