Flattus was a 9-piece horn and funk band from Indiana University, Bloomington IN (1992–1997). Named in Billboard magazine's 1996 cover feature on the Bloomington music scene. Runners-up in Conan O'Brien's 1997 College Band Search. Featured in The Net magazine in November 1995 as one of the earliest band websites on the internet.
This channel is the official archive of Flattus live performances, isolated tracks, behind-the-scenes footage, and recordings from DAT and A-DAT masters — most of it never commercially released and available nowhere else.
Alumni of this band have gone on to: play violin for Kansas (Joe Deninzon), co-found Yacht Rock Revue (Mark Cobb), record drums on Shawn Mullins' #1 hit "Lullaby" (Kevin Leahy), score hundreds of Hollywood films (Michael Valerio), perform at the Super Bowl halftime show with Usher (Michael Burton), and preserve Alexander Graham Bell's voice at the Library of Congress (Peter Alyea).
