• Free beer and funky tunes, courtesy of U.S. Pipe and Flying Dog

  As if you needed another reason besides the band's funky tunes to head down to the Bluebird this Thursday, February 19, for the U.S. Pipe CD-release show (check out Jon Solomon's Backbeat feature on the band from this week's paper if you haven't already), you can grab yourself a free beer and help out the homeless in one fell swoop.
