Before we go any further I must nail my colours to the mast and say that the despicable act of naming any 3, 4, 5 or any other limited track CD as an “EP” is something that I do not condone. The perpetrators know who they are so it is not necessary for me to name names … Knifeworld, The Fierce and the Dead, Trojan Horse spring to mind though.
However, what’s done is done so as an apology for this underhandedness one of the three unnamed bands, Trojan Horse have signed a copy of their latest “EP” CD “Fire”and have offered it as a prize!
It’s been a long time since we’ve given out a prize on the IAS so as you can imagine it will be big news on the Prog scene and the competition to win it will be stiff.
I don’t know about you but I hate the type of TV money generating raffle that purports to be a quiz. eg
What is the name of Steve’s co-host on the Interesting Alternative Show?
Is it?
1. Kavus Tobari
2. Kavus Torabi
3. Tarkus Varkoni
This would be a mindless and unrewarding way of winning a Trojan Horse limited length EP CD
So I’ve thought of a slightly more challenging set of questions that will make you do a certain amount of investigation and also (should you be the lucky winner) make you really treasure this 29 minute epic. It shouldn’t be too hard to crack but the band will appreciate that the winner certainly wasn’t a computer software programme written by some geek who likes nothing more than to trawl the web stealing prizes from right under the mouse of real fans.
Here goes … What Shampoo does Tarkus … no here it is below!
1. What military ranking does Trojan Horse bestow on Mr. Banks?
2. During the Trojan Horse Special show of the 13th of August, which member of Trojan Horse was introduced last on air?
3. The third part of this quiz will be a question asked on air during this coming Monday’s show where Ian Fairholm will be my special guest. Kavus is doing his hair apparently! The first person to then send all three parts correctly answered to us in the studio either by way of the Chatroom or email (radio@phoenixfm.com) will win the goodies!
Good Luck!
Steve
