I ran across an interesting website while surfing. It's called Rocklopedia Fakebandica. It's an amazingly comprehensive list of "bands" that were made up for television or movies. Many I have never heard of (and possibly wouldn't want to).

What are some of your favorites? A few of mine are the Electric Mayhem, the Blues Brothers, and Eddie and the Cruisers.

This one cracks me up:

"Gaines, Chris - Country singer Garth Brooks almost ruins fake bands for everyone with an embarassing 1999 release by his "alter ego." Geez, if you wanna rock, just fricking rock, dude! You shouldn't have to hide behind a bad dye job and a jazz patch. Wuss."

They forgot a great one: "Slowfuck", my favorite german "Alternative Rock"-band ::. They performed in a stunning movie called "School´s Out" in 1997. Which means: they were on stage and made a playback performance of the Foo Fighter´s "Everlong".

I don't know about the best, there was a rock group on some show during the 80's that I enjoyed, but I forget the name. For the absolute worst, this show called California Dreams that came on Saturday mornings, had the worst band I've ever heard, I couldn't stomach any of their songs.

I'm surprised noone has mentioned Spinal Tap wtf?!!?

I was thinking about them when I first read this thread, but then decided that they aren't a true fake band, since they did tour together & everything.

Wyld Stallions!

EXCELLENT :rockon:

*** Of course Spinal Tap qualifies. The film documents a fake band's fake tour :drummer:

Add Josie And The Pussycats! Damn! They were cute... for cartoon characters ;)
