A Little Sooner Every Year

Celebrate New Year's Eve Eve EVE with Flutterbox, why don't you? We have two hours to fill to bursting at Barbes, starting 7pm tomorrow night, Monday December 28th. We'd love to see you again before the year's out.

Time is of the Essence!

Sir Paul McCartney, Neill Cardinal Furio in Copenhagen!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Two of the world's most inventive electric bassists will be in Copenhagen for the United Nations Climate Change Conference: Sir Paul McCartney and Neill Cardinal Furio. Sir Paul will be giving a speech in favor of "Meat-Free Mondays" making the point that individuals are every bit as responsible as their governments for making efforts to alleviate global warming.

Mr. Furio's no doubt charmingly insurrectionist plans were unavailable at press time – making it impossible to say whether he might cross paths with Sir Paul. Don't think you have to stay tuned to GDAE to find out!

While you're waiting, sign the Hopenhagen petition!

Second gig this week!

Sometimes things just work out. We'll be back at Jalopy this Monday night, Sept 28th, opening for Tony Scherr again, as Nature intends. Long may we run.

9pm! $5! F train to Carroll St!

Flutter in the Arcade

You never know what a search of the word "flutterbox" is going to turn up. At the forum over at arcadecontrol.com, we read the following sentence: "I've got a swp crystal maze machine, there is two types of this machine. I've got the better one with the flutter box."

We know how hunty3000 feels.

Flutter in the Equinox

We begin again, newly balanced. Events have conspired to keep the Flutterboxers on either side of the pond this summer, but summer is drawing down (if only now feeling like summer) and the Return of Flutterbox is nigh. We'll be at Barbes for two shining hours on Monday September 21 from 7-9pm. New songs! Old favorites! My calendar says Sept 21 is also the International Day of Peace. We'll have something to sing about that too.

Come out! Come out!

Flutter in the Zeitgeist II

This just over the trainsom, remarks upon the "flutterbox" (pictured) built by an unknown musician as part of the entertainment at a performance event we're sorry to have missed involving music and textile artists.

"I got very interested in the ’flutterbox’ instrument one of the musicians had made.... The flutterbox was an insane-looking construction, made out of a drum, bike wheel, gurney castor-wheels, wingnuts. The sounds it made I’d never heard before and because it wasn’t a known instrument like a guitar I had no received idea of how it should be played so that alone was fascinating. And the musician was bent over it like it was a loom or something.

It may be that all flutterboxes, at one time or another, bring their players to their knees. This one looks a little like a hamster pram.
