Amazing! Welcome to the weekend! We have quite the show happening at Black Sheep tonight featuring five outstanding acts. You won’t want to miss it. Tonight we have the Austin, Texas indie emo outfit playing at our space for the third ever time called “Free Kittens & Bread.” If you forget what they sound like or didn’t catch them the first two times around, you can stream some of their music on the player below. We have hit local band Rockford also on the bill. Then we have an emo band called “Sadface Killer” coming from neighboring city Peoria, Illinois. Springfield dream garage band Spell Breaker are also on the bill. Then opening up, or going early on in the lineup is a solo act all the way from Grand Rapids, Michigan called Vagabonds.

This show is starting promptly at 7:00 pm and admission is $7. Check out a facebook event for the show right here. We will also be updating our upcoming shows page on our site at some point today, we promise!

Yes, there IS a show happening tonight at Black Sheep! Sorry we really have not been on top of things as far as getting our show announcements out! This one tonight is a three band show featuring a few acts from our Battle of the Bands this past fall. At the top of the bill is the winner of the judges voting who is actually finishing up recording at Southtown Sound – Master Bastard. Nice! We also have the return of Decatur-based jammy band Puff Puff Poseidon. Stream a song of theirs on the player below. Opening things up we have “funky hip hop jams” from Bermuda Triad.

This show will start at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. Check out a facebook event for the show right here. We are going to be working on our shows page and getting that updated in the next few days, we promise!!

Thanks to all who came out to the Collision art show at The Pharmacy last night to hang out and look at the works of many talented artists involved. Are you ready for the first Black Sheep show of the year happening tonight? Tonight is going to be a good one – we have the band Kickstart performing a rare show. Last time Kickstart performed at Black Sheep was almost exactly one year ago as one of our first shows of 2017. We also have The Complaint Line, another alternative rock band that we have not seen in a minute on our stage. Before them is “Little Death” from right here in Springfield. We also have Springfield high school band Telephone Junkies making a return since the holiday show – check out their music on the player below. Opening things up looks like is a project we know nothing about called “Prevalence.”

The show tonight starts promptly at 7:00 and admission is $5. Check out a facebook event for the show right here. Also check out our shows page for a look at what else is coming up at Black Sheep this year (we are working on it, we promise ).
