Posthaste Q&A with The Cornhole Dukes

The Cornhole Dukes may have one of the most illustrious names in rock and roll. How they fell upon it, no one knows, but it's their name and they're sticking wtih it. The Cornhole Dukes play rock & roll the way the golden gods had initially intended, with a lot of huevos, bombast, longhair and chicks hanging around. Broiled in the concrete environs of Houston, Texas, amidst Tuscadero skin walkers, black gold, cold beef, and rancid flies, they chug heavy on the archival influences of the stone gods of ’70s rock and boogie blues. The Cornhole Dukes bring the rawk party to Artmosphere on Aug. 20. Lafayette’s The Botantist opens the show.
