Before the album art has been finished, a track listing has been created, and even before the pre-mastered version has been sent out to beta-testers (again contact me if you’re interested)  The Dirty Marmaduke Flute Squad has locked down a location and date for the Boneslinky! album release party.

The party will happen at (a place we our pretty much calling our home these days) The Windup Space on October 8th 2010! Semi-confirmed acts include:
————————-
The Rock n’ Roll Freakshow: A staple of our best shows. These guys perform a series of stunts involving fire-breathing, hanging heavy objects from testicles, and eating broken glass.

Bobby E. Lee & The Sympathizers: An insane hillbilly rock troupe that is sort of Flute Squad meets Wild Bonerz meets a crazy shit talking southern Baptist preacher.

The Go Pills: A quirky pop band side-project of our friend and Baltimore film maven Skizz Cyzyk!
—————————-
Perhaps most exciting of all is that will be an official Baltimore Beer Week event, featuring specials on The Raven Lager all night.

This just came down the pipeline, so I hate to say it, but more details are to come. If you plan on coming or have an ideas, or even if you are a band that REALLY wants to play at this thing the best way to hit us up is to leave us a comment or hit us up on our Facebook!

WE LIKE BEER!: Flute Squad featured in new DuClaw Beer Promo

Our outrageous thirst for beer and desire to be known as “Baltimore’s Beer Band” (you heard it here first) rages on! Today, DuClaw Brewing Company, one of Maryland’s finer brewpubs, releases their seasonal beer 13 Degrees; their rendition of a refreshing Hefeweizen.

So how is the Flute Squad involved? Well the story goes like this: Back in the winter of 2010, Mother Nature decided to snow her soggy balls off for 403 days straight. After several parties, cookouts, games of Scrabble, and experimentation with alcohol, everyone at my house seemed to get a little… hmm… how shall I say it: BORED OUT OF OUR F#*$ING SKULLS. So I happened to notice that DuClaw was holding a “Make Our Video” Contest for 13 Degrees. I looked out of my window and rested my eyes onto the cold white abyss and wondered loudly, “Hmm… 13 Degrees?… What natural metaphor could possibly represent a beer called 13 Degrees?!”

….150 long days and nights passed. I scrapped at least 7.5 different ideas. Until finally it hit me: “SNOW IS COLD!!!” In a fit of joy, I leapt off of my pizza and got to work.


The film stars Flute Squad poster-child Brian Holsey, and Matt Shacka. The Flute Squad of course provided instrumental tracks off our upcoming album Boneslinky!. But the kicker is, we actually wrote and recorded a new song exclusively for this video that will end up being on the new album. It’s called “Lonely Man” and it is featured at the end of the video.

You can get 13 Degrees at any DuClaw BrewPub through August. And there’s a special beer release party at their pubs tonight where they will be playing the video. Go out and drink it up. They make some pretty exceptional beers.
