Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When this band plays a cover of a song they almost always replace the vocals with a trombone. Their songtitles are sometimes longer than their songs (fe. "She Loves You She Wants You It's Amazing How Much Head Wounds Bleed").
2. This hiphop crew consists of God Albino, Duke Crapmore and Flybot Van Damn. Their 2001 release "2Hype 2Wype" featured a picture of some faeces on a turntable. They claim to have originated in a primitive cult of "fierce people" who dwell on a small island off the bloody coast of Pirou. Garbage Island as they call it, is inhabited by shamans, priests and ...
3. This band comes from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Their singer/drummer suffers from Down's Syndrome. So when they go on tour they can't take him along and their concerts consist of just two guitar players making weird skronk noises.
4. This band is from Finland. They produce a strange melange of purest pop and weirdest atmosphere. When they release a new record they first tour it as a garagerock band (with a different name) to see if the songs work in a simple arrangement as well. Their name refers to some insects.
5. This trio - Buck, Bear and The Boy - made an amazing album in 2001, on which they not only did strange things indeed with guitars and feedback, but also told stories about the end of the world where Texas is the Promised Land. Bonkers or what?
6. This punk band recorded, mastered and distributed an album in 1977 in less than 24 hours time. The experience proved so exhausting that nothing has been heard of them since.
7. This Scottish band had two front persons, a man and a woman who were constantly arguing, lyrics-wise anyway. On stage things often got a little ugly with the two singers more or less attacking each other. In 1998 they suddenly released a quite poppy single, however without a contribution from the male singer, cos he hated the track.
8. This bunch of GI's that were stationed in Germany in the mid 60's shaved the top of their heads, put on some unusual garments and rocked in a fantastically unsubtle way. Like only lonely soldiers can. What did they dress themselves up as?
9. Somewhere in the mid-sixties this guy used to park his car in drive-ins, jump on top of it with his guitar and trumpet and make a brilliant racket. He did the same things at parties he wasn't invited to and his act often got violent reactions. In 2002 David Bowie covered one of his songs.
10. A bunch of session musicians with too much spare time on their hands released the album 'Texas Funeral' in 1985. On it they posed as a bunch of moronic Texan yokels, spouting rather funny stupid nonsense and producing a racket that somehow sounded like country. Indeed, Alternative Country was born here.
