From Quiz Ancient Animals

Answer: J Mascis

Mascis and Barlow were high school buddies who ended up playing together in a band called Deep Wound, from 1982 until its break-up in 1984. At this point Mascis' talent as a songwriter emerged and the first version of their own band appeared when the pair enlisted former Deep Wound vocalist Charlie Nakajima, and drummer Murph. After Nakajima used one of their own performances to express an anti-police message Mascis dissolved the band and recommenced a new one, the next day, without Nakajima. Barlow remained with the group until 1989 and was replaced two years later by Mike Johnson until 1997, when the band broke up. Murph stayed with Mascis until 1993 and he was replaced by George Berz until 1997 but only for the band's live performances. Mascis played drums for their studio recordings during this time. Mascis, Barlow and Murph would eventually reform as a trio.

From Quiz Growing Up

Answer: Providence RI

Deer Tick started out in 2004 as My Other Face. This was guitarist John McCauley and his best mate and drummer Paul Marandola. The creative force in this duo was McCauley and between them they made some tapes and played a few local gigs while they searched for a bass player. Not long later McCauley met Brendan "Viking Moses" Massei, who encouraged him to tour. He parted ways with Marandola and started travelling across country. At the same time he ditched the name, because it sounded stupid, and sought another, though not one that would suit him as a solo artist but one that would work well as a band. The inspiration came while an inebriated McCauley was on a camping trip just outside of Bloomington in Indiana in 2005, and found a tick in his head. Initially McCauley freaked out, but managed to calm down when he realized it wasn't that big a deal. The incident, however, had left an impression and, from there, the band's name was formed. For the record; Providence was founded in 1636 by Reformed Baptist Roger Williams, Las Vegas was settled in 1905, Fort Worth was established as an army outpost in 1849 and San Jose was officially founded as California's first civilian settlement in 1777.

Peter Bernhard is the main singer and songwriter in the group. He also plays guitar. Cooper McBean mostly plays the banjo. He also sometimes plays the guitar, and he sings a few songs.

From Quiz The Dubliners: in the Rare Oul' Times

Answer: The Ronnie Drew Folk Group

O'Donoghue's, just off St. Stephen's Green in Dublin's southside, has a long association with Irish musicians including Christy Moore, The Fureys, Séamus Ennis and Phil Lynott. Although Ronnie Drew brought the group together he wasn't happy with its original name, and as Luke Kelly was reading a copy of James Joyce's short stories 'The Dubliners' at that time it seemed a fitting choice. Ironically though, Drew himself was born in Drogheda, a town north of Dublin - the only band member not born in Dublin itself. Ronnie, whose voice was once famously described as "the sound of coke being crushed under a door", left The Dubliners to go solo in 1995, and died in 2008 after a lengthy battle with cancer.

Ian Dury had previously fronted Kilburn and The High Roads which although achieving cult status in and around the London area had little commercial success. The line up for The Blockheads usually included the following: pianist and guitarist; Chaz Jankel, drummer; Charley Charles, bassist; Norman Watt-Roy, keyboard player; Mickey Gallagher, guitarist John Turnbull and the brilliant former Kilburn's saxophonist Davey Payne.

Answer: 2003

'DÅÅTH' formed in 2003 and released their first album, 'Futility,' which was self released, in 2004. In 2007 they released 'The Hinderers' through Roadrunner Records. 'DÅÅTH' is a difficult band to allocate to one genre, Eyal, the guitarist, says the following about 'DÅÅTH's' genre: "I don't think that we're traditional death metal. I would say that we're progressive extreme music. We draw from various styles of extreme music - death, black, doom, whatever... we throw in electronica, we throw in orchestral, we throw in some classic rock. We're definitely not sticking to death metal. We're not limiting it." (http://daath.swizcorp.com/main.php?section=bio)
