Maybe you'll be an answer this month too. Come on down this Thursday!

SECTION TWO: PAST NAME-THAT-TUNERS (10 POINTS)
Having a live act do Name-That-Tune is what sets us apart from other trivia nights and keeps broke regulars bitching about the $5.00 pay-to-play price. If you weren't here, you can still answer them as long as you know a little something about local music. If not, you're screwed.
11. Whiter than white hiphop group whose MC's Dr Cliff Mixtable and Optimus Rhyme did monitorless 70's karaoke for Name-That-Tune.
12. Countryrock power trio fronted by the Shaddox brothers, who also played Musical Pursuit a second time with friends from the Barnacles as allstar group The Mad Libs.
13. Piano virtuoso and two-time SD Music Award nominee (as a solo singer and member of SD Beat Organization) who used to sneak into hotels to play their pianos when she was lacking one.
14. Overrated altcountrypowerpop group who were photographed with the San Diego Chicken for the cover of SD Music Matters Magazine.
15. 60's styled group fronted by Bart Mendoza that grew out of 80's mod act Manual Scan.
16. Lead optigan player in Optigonally Yours and curator of Whistle Stop's Found Film Jam.
17. World famous mashup DJ now living in SD whose well-known "Whistler's Delight" (combining famous songs with whistling) we used for Name-That-Tune.
18. America's favorite lounge singer, holding court weekends at Imperial House.
19. White haired one-man synthpop act seen selling DVD's at Comic Con and playing Nick Rhodes in a local Duran Duran tribute act.
20. Cover Me Badd act that combined metal with the songs of Depeche Mode, the Cure and the Smiths.

Sorry I couldn't make it out last week. The last month got me a night job and I've been running around like crazy. But I definitely want to see you mix again, esp. now that Mash II: Electric Boogaloo's been cancelled. So just keep me posted.
