It looks like we all survived The End Is Here Fest yesterday (and had a GREAT time) and we are back tonight for another show! Tonight is also going to be a lot of fun! We have five bands playing for just $5! This show will feature an acoustic version of new Springfield pop/indie-rock band Looming. Come see what that is all about. Before that we get a taste of some hardcore punk from St. Louis with the band Perfect People. Also on this show is the band Who Needs You from Bloomington, Indiana. They play some fun pop-punk, and you can find some of their music on the player below. Then we have another St. Louis band playing! They are Little Big Bangs, bringing us some of the best garage/punk from the area. Opening things up is the Springfield finger-smashing harsh noise project Aporia. That just about covers every genre, right?

The show tonight starts at 7:00 pm and costs $5. You can find a facebook event for the show right here. Don’t forget to check out our shows page for a complete list of shows coming up at Black Sheep.

The End Is Here and the time for heavy death is now. Check out all these blackened metal and hardcore bands that are going to be playing in The End Is Here fest today! It’s going to be raw and heavy.

Pound For Pound is going to be playing their final show ever. Since 1999 these dudes have been bringing us some of the heaviest music around. Back in July it was announced that they had decided to wind things down after keeping things alive for so long. Today the day has finally come and the end for them is here, so come out to see their last show and listen to them live one last time.
Batallion is coming down from St. Louis to give us a brutal set. Come check them out and mosh till you drop.
Human Animal from Pennsylvania has some lake effect hardcore tunes. Get ready to get wild.
Smoke and Mirrors are coming from the exact same place as Human Animal and are sure to give us a rad set.
Dissention is coming from the hardcore scene in St. Louis. They’ve got a new line-up so come check it out!
Skywalker from central Illinois is going to give us some blast-beats and break downs so get pumped.
Meth Dealer from Decatur will be battling Table Drama (once known as Scott Blacula) to the death. This is Table Drama’s release show so come get their stuff and see who the final victor of this battle is.
No Regrets from Chicago will be playing positive-productive hardcore stuff so check them out.

This is at 3:30pm and the first band goes on at 4:00pm. It costs $6 and will definitely be worth your dough, especially since it’s Pound For Pound’s last show. Check out the facebook event here and brace yourselves because all these bands are going to give us a hell of a mini-fest! Check out what other awesome shows we have coming up at Black Sheep, then check out this video of Pound For Pound at their second to last show this past summer.

UPDATE: The show has now been pushed back to starting at 4:00 pm and admission is now $6. Even more reason to go!

Tonight there are no shows going on at Black Sheep, but there is a sweet house show happening in Springfield that you can go to if you are looking for something to do on a Friday night. This show is happening at The Poon Lagoon, and if you don’t know where that is you might try looking around on the facebook event page, or ask a friend. Playing the show tonight is Springfield all star pop punkers Hospital Job. Before the pop punk we will be getting some feel-good rock from candy pop rockers Big Storm. Also on this show is the long running Springfield punk band The Timmys. And to top all of that off we have Nathan Leigh, a touring solo musician from Brooklyn, NY.
