There sure is a lot going on in Southtown today. In fact, some of it has already begun! That’s right, today is Black Friday and the madness kicked off at Dumb Records (1107 South Grand East Ave.) earlier this morning at 8:00 am. Be sure to rush over to the store now if you are a record collector because the store has plenty of exclusive releases and sales going on right now until 9:00 pm tonight. Check out the full list of exclusive titles the store is carrying today here on the Black Friday facebook event. There is also 15% off of all non-RSD titles and other give-aways.

The show tonight at Black Sheep will start at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. For that show we have the local pop punk band Fill In The Blank. We also have The Incorporated, who last played at Black Sheep for the big Hobgob Halloween show. Up before them is Super Famicom, a touring solo act now based out of Bloomington, Indiana and originally from here in Central Illinois. Before that is a newer industrial solo project from here in town abvreviated A.S. You can find some of that streaming on the player below. Kicking things off is the noisey drone/ambient project of B.J. Pearce called “Pretend I’m Not There.”

Find a facebook event for all of this right here. Check out our shows page for a better look at even more shows and events coming up in Southtown.
