We RARELY bring you Springfield music news this late at night here at blacksheepspringfield.com but tonight we have to make an emergency post to tell you all about a very last minute show. The show is going down TOMORROW NIGHT (1/15) at 7:00 pm at Black Sheep. The show was originally happening in Peoria, Illinois but things happen and something didn’t work out with the venue there. SO… TOMORROW NIGHT at Black Sheep we have these bands!

For those of you unfamiliar with the bands, here are a couple of short band bios.
Teenage Bottlerocket is a pop-punk band from Laramie, Wyoming, formed in 2001. The band was formed by twin brothers Ray and Brandon Carlisle after their previous band Homeless Wonders broke up in 2000, and is completed by Kody Templeman and Miguel Chen. The band’s music is heavily influenced by Kody’s other band, The Lillingtons. On February 10th 2009, Teenage Bottlerocket signed with punk label Fat Wreck Chords, later releasing They Came From The Shadows, their fourth and most recent album, on the 15th of September.

Off with Their Heads is a punk rock band formed in 2002 from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Since their formation, they have often featured a rotating line-up of tour players, due to their members’ other commitments and Off With Their Head’s own full-time touring schedule. Singer/guitarist Ryan has noted that having different musicians helps keep the band fresh. (wikipedia)
The show will begin at 7:00 pm. For this show we will be selling tickets in advance. You can purchase tickets at The Rock Shop or at Black Sheep during any show for $8. The day of the show the door charge will be $10. Be sure to also check out what other shows we have coming up at Black Sheep on our shows page.

Although we just announced a show for the same day at Black Sheep, we thought it would be a good idea to tell you all about another great show happening on February 2nd at The Radon Lounge.

Then from Springfield will be The End Times Quartet, which is formerly the End Times Trio but this time they are a four-piece! Also playing is singer song-writer Karen Koenig who is also from Springfield. And to top this all off will be the two person band Austin & Austin.
The show will begin at 7:00 pm and is $5. You can find a facebook event for the show here. This show is at a house so you will have to ask a friend for the address. You can check out what other shows are coming up in Springfield outside of Black Sheep on our shows page.
