Springfield punk band Soap Scum will be coming up out of the glue tunnels to play this one. This show will also feature touring band Falter from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. You can check out some of their heavy tunes on the player embedded below. Another band coming from the depths of the glue tunnels of Springfield is the villains and heels, Table Drama.

Speaking of glue tunnels, we have another band playing that comes straight from the witches’ cellars of St. Louis and that is the frightening Nos Bos. To top that lineup off we have a very special new band opening the show off and playing the very first set of 2014 at Black Sheep. That is Asthma, which features members of Mildred, Gazeebo, Scott Blacula, and Looming.
