Who’s in them mood for a nice spring time show? We just did a little bit of spring cleaning on Sunday and got the place cleaned up a little bit for this nice folk show going on tonight! We have the band Cottontail coming on tour from Arizona and featuring members of Ramshackle Glory. They play softer indie/folk type stuff. Then we have a few local bands. Lovecow will be playing. They just released a new EP, which you can find on their bandcamp or also pick it up from them at the show tonight. Also playing from Springfield is Montagh, formerly Austin & Austin. Opening things up is a brand new project called Borealis, featuring a member of the punk band Soap Scum. Sounds fun!

The show starts off at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. You can find a facebook event of the show right here. You can check out what other shows are happening at Black Sheep on our shows page.

Oh look! It’s another show coming up in May! The band Mutts from Chicago will be playing as a part of their tour for their new “unplugged” album. They will be performing an unplugged set too, which we assume means mostly acoustic stuff. Then we have the super big band Big Storm featuring members of the Brandon Carnes Band. The other out of town band playing the show is Payphones from St. Louis. They play experimental rock. And opening things up we have the video-game themed band from Springfield Like… With Jetpacks! Hopefully they will be playing some of our favorite video game tunes and a few originals.

The show starts at 7:00 pm and admission is $5. You can find a facebook event for the show right here. Also be sure to check out what other shows are coming up at Black Sheep over on our shows page!

There are a few shows going on in Springfield tonight outside of Black Sheep that we feel we should tell you about. The first is a house show at The Radon Lounge. Headlining the show will be Analecta, the post-rock post-metal band on tour from South Bend Indiana. Then also playing and on tour is The Traditional from New York. They are a four piece rock band. Then there will be a couple of local bands opening things up including shoegaze sludge project Caterpillar Club. And starting things off will be the folk punk band Lovecow. This is sure to be a fun show! The show will start at 7:00 pm and there is a $5 door charge. You can find a facebook event right here. Looking for what else is going on at The Radon Lounge? Well they have a cool new website that you should check out!

There is also another show taking place at 8:30 pm at the Tin Can Pub tonight. That show features bands Silow, Witchweed, Scott Blacula, and Set Piece. More info on that show can be found on the facebook event right here.

Finally, there is a big Viele’s Planet Reunion going on this afternoon and tonight at Capital City Bar and Grill. Last we heard the show has been sold out, but we figured we’d tell you about it anyway! For more info on that show you can check out our original post here.

It’s the weekend and there is a show tonight and there is a lot to be excited about! Tonight will be the very first show of a young Springfield punk band and also the CD release of a Springfield band celebrating four years of being a band together. The four-year old band is Obi-Wan Kanblo Mi, and they will be releasing the CD for their new EP: Episode VI: Return of The Red Eyes. You can stream some of the songs off of their EP right here. Also playing the show tonight is Coward’s Way Out from the St. Louis areas. You can stream some of their music below. We also have Must Build Jacuzzi playing ska-punk from the Peoria area. And then we have a couple more locals. We have Lovecow (who recently released a new EP) and RDNT (who will be playing their very first show)!
