Being cool is very important in the music world… and half the battle of being cool is feeling cool.  There are two ways to feel cool at this summer’s Downtown Live.  You could learn all the bands’ songs; that takes time.

You could take just a few moments to master impressive bits of band trivia.  After all, in the battle of cool, nothing can trump music minutia.  Here’s a trivia kick-start for some of the scheduled performers…

One of Lt. Dan’s New Legs’ band members started out in gospel music as a child.

The Menus named the band after their massive collection of artifacts (menus) from restaurant visits.

Feeling cool yet?  Now add these bits to your trivia repertoire:

The Mac Band’s name is a reference to two members, the McCampbell brothers.
