It’s Friday, ghouls!! And we’ve got a super solid show coming up tonight. The local dream weavers in Mystery Gift are going to open things up with their rad jams. Peoria area based sulkadelic band The Oceanographers, featuring members of Howlback– who played at The Black Sheep back in July– will be exhibiting some mighty fine stuff for us to listen to. Deadron (Still Here Records) gracing us from Freeport, IL will move our insides with their alternative tunes- so get ready! On tour with Deadron is Maps For Travellers (No Sleep Records) and their heavy emo set is sure to be stirring so show both of those bands some support and don’t miss them!  To bring the night to full circle will be the supernatural forces in local grunge junk-punk band JAG, who will surely have an exciting set.
