We’re going to have a rad show tonight, check out who we’ve got playing! The Timmys will be giving us a good set as always, as they have been since the ’97, so come check them out! They’ll be playing with The Haddonfields from St. Louis, who will give us some upbeat punk tunes. Guy Morgan and the FT Crew have some rad feel-good punk to rile us up, and The Rackatees will echo that note by giving us an energetic punk-rock set. It’s sure to be enjoyable so come out to hear the good show.

Something else special is going on tonight because Skanks Skates turns 25 years old today! This place is so rad and has really played a big role in the skating and music community, so if you’re a skater come out to Skanks tonight and shred it up with BoofCity SkateZine because it’s sure to be quite an extravaganza.

Skaters, you can hit up the ramps at 6 pm. Show goers, this one starts at 7pm and will cost $5. The facebook event will tell you anything more you need to know, and check out our shows page to find out information about other upcoming shows. Your support is rad!

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!
