Black Sheep is going to be hosting some more international bands this fall and on we have this great lineup of a show on Saturday, November 8th featuring a band from Austria. The band is Astpai coming all the way from Wiener Neustadt, Austria after they play this year’s Fest in Florida. Astpai will also be on tour with a band called Typesetter from Chicago. All of this will be joined by plenty of Springfield supporting bands. We have the young snot punk band Panzys on board to play. We also have a brand new Springfield band playing their very first show. That band is Milchjunge – which is German for “Milk Boys.” You can check out the very first recorded song from Milchjunge streaming below. Opening up this show will be the solo psychedelic project of Kenyon Deshasier.

All of that will be at 7:00 pm and admission this time around is $7 ($2 extra for a band from overseas). You can check out a facebook event right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a look at everything else coming up at Black Sheep.

In our steady stream of October show announcements this week, we do have a little bit of bad news. The bad news is that we will not be hosting NIL8’s Hobgoblinspookadelic this year. Want to hear the good news? The good news is that we still have a killer Halloween show lined up, so it’s time to dust off those old costumes from your childhood and get ready for our Halloween show on Friday, October 24th! Our Halloween show will feature a reunion by the legendary Springfield ska band, Don’t Mess With Winkie. The band started in 2006 and played their last show at Black Sheep Fest 2012 over two years ago. They will be doing a one-off reunion show for our Halloween show this year. Also on the show is another reunited band, Los Injectors. Los Injectors features members of NIL8. Also on this show is the extra-spooky newer Springfield ska band, Bad Banshee. And of course a Halloween show wouldn’t be fit without the slimy and beautiful hardcore punk band King Worm.

The Halloween show will start at 7:00 pm and cost $5. Wear a costume. Be on the lookout for a facebook event shortly. For now, check out our shows page where we have all of our upcoming shows listed.

We have some very exciting shows coming up here at Black Sheep this fall, including some where we will be able to feature more bands from over seas. Our last show featuring an international band was a great success, with Una Béstia Incontrolable crowning us “the capitol of punk.” This time we have a show on Monday, October 20th featuring two acts from France. Before we get into the French bands, we have Springfield instrumental shoegaze band Caterpillar Club playing this one. Come see them. For the French acts, we have one project called Tamagawa and another called Oldine. Come find out what those two are about at this once-and a lifetime opportunity of a show.

This show will start at 7:00 pm and cost $5. You can find a facebook event for it right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page where you can see everything else coming up at Black Sheep this fall.

Are you ready to hear about the next show lined up at Dumb Records post-Cassette Store Day? This one is happening on Tuesday, October 7th. It will be a pretty chill, mostly acoustic show. We have two-piece Springfield acoustic folk band Wilt Candy playing. We also have a touring act from Massachusetts and that is Jerry Fels And The Jerry Fels. You can check out some of Jerrys’ music streaming below. Then we have another rare performance by Springfield video game instrumental band, Like… With Jetpacks. Opening things up will be a solo set by Jonathan San German.

This show will start at 7:00 pm at Dumb Records and cost $5 for the touring acts. You can check out a facebook event right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page for a look at everything else coming up at Black Sheep and Dumb Records.
