Thank You Baltimore!

The Dirty Marmaduke Flute Squad's "Die Humpin'!" shares top honors with the Kelly Bell Band for best local album of the year in this year's City Paper Reader's Poll. Thanks for all of you wonderful folks who voted for us. Totally unexpected and caught us all by surprise. We honestly thought we'd get something like "Worst costumes" or something. Anyways, to let you guys know, we auditioned alongside 50+ bands from all over the country (which were handpicked from thousands of submissions) for an upcoming FOX tv show called The Search for the Next Great American Band. The show will air October 19th on FOX. We didn't make it to the round of finalists, but we're hoping we left a lasting impression on America and the producers of the show, enough to put us on TV. So, if any of you are watching FOX in the coming weeks or perusing online and see promos for the show, let us know, and the first person who spots us on TV in an ad or promo will get free stuff.
