Today on The Dumb Records Radio Show: Nasty Boys

Posted on August 16, 2019 by blacksheepspringfield

Gross! Nasty! Today is Friday and it’s another episode of The Dumb Records Radio Show that’s on every Friday from 4-6pm until the plug gets pulled and we are off the air (which could happen literally at any given point)! Until then we are still rockin’ and rollin’ on the radio airwaves of Springfield and we are going to do so today with THE Nasty Boys from Milwaukee, Wisconsin! (Pictured above fishing for sharks in the lakes of Wisconsin). Tune in to hear us talk to the Nasty Boys and their nasty attitudes, and also play some of their music, and also music from a lot of other local bands and musicians.

Our radio program airs today and every Friday (for now) from 4:00 to 6:00 pm on 88.3 WQNA fm. Also online at that same time at wqnaradio.org. We’ve uploaded a lot of old shows recently onto our Mix Cloud page, check that out!

Oh and by the way, if you want to follow along with the status of WQNA and the future of the station, there is a newly created facebook page you can follow!

It’s Friday, and the weekend! We only got one show going on at our space this weekend and that is tonight, and it is one that is sure to last probably around one hour if we had to guess. (Okay, maybe two). Tonight we got a band called “Nasty Boys” from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Looks like it’s a duo of two guys. What makes them so nasty??? Come to the show to find out. And stream their music on the player below. Also on this show is Springfield hardcore band Final Order. Opening things up looks like dug up from the grave is GRINN… a band we have not seen or heard or anything since… Dumb Fest #5 back in 2017? Well we’ll be darned.

This show starts at 7:00 pm and admission will be $5. Check out a facebook event for this one right here. Also be sure to check out our shows page to take a look at what else is going on at our space in the near future!

September 22 at CFP: Worlds Greatest Dad, Nectar, Attic Salt

Posted on August 12, 2019 by blacksheepspringfield

Looks like September is going to be a good month for back to school Springfield house shows, with The Radon Lounge recently announcing a big one on September 27th, and now this one at The CFP on Sunday, September 22nd. For those of you unfamiliar, 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.
