Tonight at Black Sheep there is a show, and it is a show that you all should go to! It might be cold outside, but the circle pits are sure to warm things up tonight. Tonight we have Gnargoyle, a new Champaign band featuring members of Dino Bravo, Wolf Luv, and all of those other bands. We also have Springfield’s own two-piece surprise band Mystery Gift. Before that we have the super punk band Antithought from St. Louis. You can check out some of their music on the player below. To top that all off we have a brand NEW band playing their very first show at Black Sheep called The Oswalds. Come out to the show early to hear what they are all about!

The show tonight starts at 7:00 pm and is $5. You can find a facebook event for the show right here. Also be sure to check our upcoming shows page for a list of all of the shows coming up at Black Sheep.

We’re having a really rad show tonight! Check it out, we’ve got the local power pop band Big Storm to give us a healthy dose of charisma and self confidence. They’re swell are sure to provide an enjoyable set as always. Brick Mower is a cool rock band with an indie streak coming all the way from New Jersey, so come out and listen to their honest tunes! Wisconsin based band Big Waves of Pretty is going to give us some water space tunes so that’ll definitely be cool to listen to as well. There’s also going to be a fine fellow coming all the way from California. His name is Kevin Greenspon and his set is going to be interesting because he uses the visual element of projection in his shows, so that combined with some ambient and droney punk influenced songs will be sweet. The last band on this set is War Magic! These local dudes have a rad dream folk shtick that’ll mellow you out and make you feel mysterious, so come out to this show and release a little stress by listening to some swell sets.

It’ll be at 7pm for $5! Support the touring bands! Check out the facebook event right here and make sure to take a look-see at the other shows we have coming up.

Welcome to the end of 2013, ladies and gentleman, theys and its!
Yes, this is it, the end of the world grows farther away with each passing day and 2014 is on its way. Since we’ve survived this long, we should definitely enjoy it. How? By coming to Black Sheep and listening to music.
Tonight, we’re featuring some raw acoustic tunes. Brandon Carnes is going to wig us all out with his beautifully blasphemous acoustic songs. They’ll knock you off your feet and on to the dark side, so check him out! Michael Tietjen is a fine fellow from the band Family Lumber that’s going to be travelling solo this cold winter. Show him some support and listen to the jams he’ll have for us this evening! They’re sure to be delightful. Jess Knight from Looming will be singing a sweet acoustic set as well, followed by Austin Connelly (of Wir Konnen and Montagh) performing some bad jokes and sad songs.

This show will be at 7pm, so come get your heart warmed by these acoustic tunes and bring 5 bucks! Here’s the facebook event, and you can also check out the upcoming shows we have here at the Sheep.
