It's official: Indie rock is trival

From nymag.com:









What was Pavement’s name before they were Pavement? Ok, ok, that was easy. Correctly name four bands that Calvin Johnson has been a member of. Stumped you? Perfect! We’ve created an Indie Rock Trivia night with our secret crew of rock geniuses, hosted by the one and only Zach Galifianakis. You’ll be asked to form teams, so get your smartest friends together to win our super-fantabulous-over-the-top prizes. More on that later! We’ve also lined up Brooklyn’s own Les Savy Fav to perform live and help your brains recover from the exercise.

This actually might be a lot of fun if only because I'm sure Mr Galifianakis will make it so. In case you were wondering, I have no idea what Pavement was originally called. Was it SM and the Sound of White Privilege? As for Calvin Johnson's bands I could only get 3 of them without looking it up.



But at least I didn't think they meant this guy.
