Of Montreal — the psych-pop project led by Kevin Barnes that is, famously, not actually of Montreal — were part of a Jeopardy! question last night.
The question (or answer, or however Jeopardy! works) read: "Georgia, not Greece, should be on your mind with this city, known for bands like the confusingly named Of Montreal." The answer is Athens, which contestant Jack Izzo got right.
Of Montreal aren't the only notable act to come from Athens, as it's the hometown of Michael Stipe and the place where the B-52s formed following a night of flaming volcano cocktails.
It's an honour to be a question or answer on Jeopardy! (I imagine) so Kevin Barnes was understandably pretty hype about the shoutout, posting it to the band's Instagram. Check that out below.
