What do Sammy Haggar, Christina Agulera, Glen Campbell and Stacy Q have in common? Competition of course.

That is if you are referring to the 1st annual Rock and Roll Trivia Party hosted in Williamsburg this weekend.

2 elite teams, chosen for their broad musical knowledge and reputation for fierce competative spirit were pitched against each other in head to head trivia combat Produced and hosted by Aparna Mohan and Benjamin Cameron. Each "Band" of 5 competitors tested their knowledge in categories ranging from 70s AM Radio Hits, Famous Duets, Rock On TV, One Hit Wonders and Pop Princessess to Has Beens, Movie Soundtracks, Stage Names and Notable Covers.

The Bands (Tom Pettycoat Junction and Divine Tragedy) were made up of individuals from publishing, photography, public relations, music production, and politics. Each person in their turn showed us their best dance moves, sang the refrains of Brittany, and caused general havoc as rockers are expected to do! In the end only one band could overcome the obstacles and penalties thrown at them from thier hosts. Only one band could live through spontaneously combusting drummers, ego wars between members, and drug overdoses to come out as a winner. That Team was the Divine Tragedy. Despite thier drunken haze they were able to eek out a win over their strong competitors the Tom Pettycoat Junction in this trivial Battle of the Bands.

Congratulations to both teams.

In other news my good friends Rob and Jane from cockeyed.com were flown in to the MTV studios from Sacramento for 24 hours of Foo Fighters on MTV 2 to prepare an all Foo Fighters Episode of How Much is inside the Foo Fighters!

I love it when random local talent gets noticed, flown to NY and gets to spend 2 sleepless days playing games with famous people. Check back with cockeyed.com for updates on what happened there.
