Did you know there is a very solid show going on in town tonight, not at our space? For those of you unfamiliar, The CFP is a house venue in town and it stands for “The Club For Pets” so bring your pets. This show features world famous band “World’s Famous Dad” from Georgia. Listen to their newest release, Get Over It on the player below. Also on this show is Nectar from Champaign/Urbana, always a solid Champaign band to go on a Springfield show, right? And of course, Attic Salt* is playing this show too, we hear they all live in that basement anyways.

That one starts at 7:00 pm at that house, and the door charge is $5-7. Don’t know where The CFP is? That’s too bad because we can’t tell you. Find a facebook event for the show right here. Also check out our Springfield shows page for a list of other shows happening in town outside of Dumb Records.

As we’ve said on this site plenty of times before, it’s hard keeping up with all of the local music videos that are coming out nowadays! Especially with talented videographers such as Twenty One Seven Studios, who shot and produced this one we are showing you today by local hip hop / pop artist Ty Witty. This one’s not on youtube so we can’t embed the player, sorry. It’s for Ty Witty’s song, “Lovely” which comes off his most recent album, For When It Rains. You can check out the video for the song on facebook right here. Also stream the full album For When It Rains on youtube right here.

This is a post to let you all know that we will be participating in the record fair out at Route 66 Hotel this upcoming Saturday, September 21st. It’s been a couple of years since we’ve done a pop up at one of these, usually bi-annual events, but this time we are returning with just one table full of records, and maybe some fliers and a special coupon to hand out to people or something. We’ll see. We also just want to hang out and look at records and drink coffee.

The record fair goes on Saturday at the Route 66 Hotel on 625 East St. Joseph from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Yes, as the flier states above it is also occurring in Peoria the following day, but we are just participating in the Springfield record fair. Heck, maybe we’ll do the Peoria one again next year. Find a facebook event for this right here. Our store will still be open regular hours downtown all day Saturday.
