Geeks Who Drink is a homegrown Pub Trivia Quiz modeled after those in Ireland and the UK. Our quizzes cover everything from celebrities in trouble to wordplay to bad television.

Each quiz has two audio rounds: a “Name that Tune” style round, and another round comprised of soundbites from movies and TV.

Play in teams of up to six or by yourself if you’re some kind of savant.

If you want to play but don’t have a team, come anyway. We can usually get single players recruited onto an existing team.

Winning teams gets street cred, bar cash and other prizes depending on the venue. Bonus Questions for free pints are sprinkled throughout the quiz.

You don’t have to be a trivia God to enjoy the quiz. Since you’re playing on a team, the collective knowledge base makes for more fun, less pressure. It’s not final friggin’ Jeopardy.

Salt Lake City is not known for its thriving music scene or world famous venues. There is no neon soaked strip, and booze is nearly illegal on Sunday. Before dismissing it entirely, many people think no further than the city’s reputation for harsh winters, and religious stronghold. Living amidst the myths and stereotypes, however, is Lorin Walker Madsen, and he has built his life out of music.

Born in Denver, Colorado, Lorin grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was a punk rock kid, an outsider, breaking away from the norm early on. Starting at age 12, he played in bands and gigged around town. At 19, he bought a van, never looked back, and began touring in various projects.

In 2013, Lorin released his first solo studio album, The Kind of Man I Am, on his newly-formed label Salt Lick Records. He played 220 shows on the tour supporting the album which was 36 months long and covered 35 states.

Upon returning home in late 2014, Lorin set up High Desert Studios, a recording studio in an old warehouse and office building in South Salt Lake City. After writing new material for the next record he assembled his live band from the road along with other players he’d met and began engineering his 2nd full-length album.

On May 5, 2015 Lorin’s second album, Raise Your Glass, was released on Salt Lick Records. After wrapping up another busy year out on the road, including dates all across the United States and Canada, Lorin is entrenched in another busy year in 2016.
Blending a road-tough attitude into his own brand of high desert honky punk –– gritty vocals and honest lyrics laid over his take on traditional and red dirt country music, LWM lives for playing music on the road. Whether it be with his full band of Hustlers backing him up, or flying solo with a kick drum and a guitar, the chances are good that he’s headed to a city or town near you soon!

Through this, her ninth CD, singer, songwriter, pianist and guitarist Jill Cohn continues her musical journey to find the good stuff within the oft-harsh lessons of life and love. A poet with insights steeped in hope and faith, on “Beautiful I Love You” Cohn finds much humor in life’s difficulties but not in a Pollyanna sort of way by any means. Cohn’s expressions of her spirit are bittersweet and sometimes wry but always with so much realness that she can make you feel better if only by singing your pain. Rest assured: Cohn’s music will lift you up – Tacoma Weekly

Barnyard Stompers are a true C&W outfit from South Texas who combine the perfect mixture of Classic Country, Dirty Blues and Southern Rock along with their own unapologetic style to create some of the rawest, roughest, rowdiest Outlaw music ever heard. The amazing power duo is the first of a new generation of Outlaw Country artists who sound like no others before them.

Their new record Outlaws with Chainsaws Part II: The Payback is the Stompers’ fifth release. It contains eleven original songs that cover subjects like rednecks to chainsaws, substance abuse to truckers, and everything in between. Barnyard Stompers are a force to be reckoned with and are on their way up.
