Tonight we have the ‘ol classic double header happening tonight inside Black Sheep and Dumb Records. There will be six whole bands playing inside Black Sheep and two inside of Dumb Records for a whole eight bands total! (yikes)!

Let’s take a look at the Black Sheep show first. Tonight we have returning champs from Indiana, Sidelined playing this show. They have played Black Sheep a good number of times in many years past. Then the main touring act on this gig (we think) is Crowns from Nashville, Tennessee. You can check out some of their music streaming on the player below. We also have the grungy as ever three piece from Taylorville, Illinois on this show- Stems. And a FOURth band from outside of Springfield “Low Weather” is playing. They are coming all the way from Seattle, Washington (wow that’s a lot of music from all over the place). The local acts on this bill are solo project Pretend I’m Not There, and other solo project Mystery (maybe the shortened version of Mystery Gift)?

Then inside DUMB RECORDS happening in between bands at Black Sheep we have a couple of noise acts lined up. Those will be Black Bloc (noise electronic act from New York), and also the intense local noisecore act Gutterpriest. Black Bloc also performed at South Town Studio last summer.

Things are going to be kicking off right at 7:00 pm over at Black Sheep. The Black Sheep show is $8, and we will just be taking donations over at the Dumb Records stage. You can find a facebook event for the show right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a good look at everything else coming up in 2017 at Black Sheep.
