Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. One of the original Elephant 6ers, and probably the busiest of the bunch, Robert Schneider, is leader of what band?

Answer: Apples in Stereo

Rob produces many of the other bands' albums. A great guy with a knack for catchy pop songs.
2. The band Beulah was once a part of the Elephant 6 collective.

Answer: True

Robert Schneider heard their first release and decided to produce their second album, "When Your Heartstrings Break". Many still consider them a part of the extended Elephant 6 family.
3. What band did Bill Doss form after the breakup of Olivia Tremor Control?

Answer: The Sunshine Fix

All of the bands have members from the Olivias. Frosted Ambassador released an album before the breakup and came with no song titles or info, just blank spaces to make up your own song titles.
4. Which band has something of a "Dungeons and Dragons" influence?

Answer: Elf Power

Elf Power is a great pop band, with many of their earlier songs conjuring up D&D images.
5. Of the following singers, who is the leader of Neutral Milk Hotel?

Answer: Jeff Magnum

W. Cullen Hart was one of the singers for Olivia Tremor Control. Julian Koster is a member of NMH, but has his own band, The Music Tapes. Tammy Ealom was originally in The Minders and now has her own band, Dressy Bessy.
6. Olivia Tremor Control made some recordings in which they asked fans to mail them tapes of their dreams which they then added music to.

Answer: False

A bit of a trick question, as the recordings themselves were under the name of the Black Swan Network and were included on an EP with OTC. But technically, it was the Black Swan Network that recorded it. Confusing, isn't it?
7. Where did the main members Elephant 6 collective meet?

Answer: Ruston, Louisiana

Rob Schneider, Jeff Magnum, Bill Doss, and Will Cullen Hart went to the same high school. Rob later moved to Denver, while the other three eventually settled in Athens.
8. Which of these bands recorded a song about golfing?

Answer: The Essex Green

The song is the title track from their album "Everything is Green". The band is a side group with members from The Ladybug Transistor. The Essex Green has another side band called The Sixth Great Lake.
9. Julian Koster of The Music Tapes and Neutral Milk Hotel plays what uncommonly used instrument?

Answer: singing saw

It is quite a marvel to see him play this instrument. The sarangi is an Indian instrument whose ability to imitate sounds and textures is incomparable. The wooden slit drum is from Central African Republic. It is made of a tree or wood block with a longitudinal hole cut into it.
10. What is the name of Rob Schneider's recording studio?

Answer: Pet Sounds

Fitting title for a fan of the Beach Boys.
