The Post presents: In Search of Atlantis – The Olympics

The 2010 Olympic Winter Games begin today, but local Sioux Falls music fans can also get a glimpse of competition right here on The Post.

Local alternative rock group, In Search of Atlantis, went through what we like to call ISOAlympics. I met with the five guys and challenged them five separate games. Each event was scored and totaled to find the winner. Read below to find a more detailed explanation of each game, and watch the video to find out who the winner was.

Part One: Hula Hoops
Each member was given a turn with a hula hoop. They were scored based on how long they could keep the hoop spinning. (First: four points. Second: three points. Third: two points. Fourth and fifth: one point.)

Part Two: Paper Airplanes
Each member was given sheets of blank paper and asked to make an airplane. They were scored based on how far their airplane could go. (First: four points. Second: three points. Third: two points. Fourth and fifth: one point.)

Part Three: Balance Act
Each member had to spin in a chair for five cycles. They then had to balance a book on their head while walking a short distance, around a trashcan, and back. They were scored on how fast their total spinning and walking time was. (First: four points. Second: three points. Third: two points. Fourth and fifth: one point.)

Part Four: Name That Artist
The members were shown ten different photos of lead singers. They had to then name the singer and the band they performed in. Two points were available for each photo. (One point for artist name, one point for band name.)

Part Five: Whipped Cream Bubblegum
Each member was given a pie tin filled with whipped cream. Under the whipped cream was a piece of bubblegum. Without using their hands, they had to find the piece of bubblegum, and blow a bubble. They were scored based on shortest time needed. (First: four points. Second: three points. Third: two points. Fourth and fifth: one point.)

In Search of Atlantis will be playing a show tonight at Senor Weiner with Hands, Onward to Olympas and And The Greatest of These. Doors open at 7:30 pm with music at 8 pm, and costs $7.
