    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Fake Band Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy 3 Comments1 Min Read

    Yesterday’s discussion of parody songs reminds me of an important and unexpected fact: There are a lot of great bands that don’t actually exist.  Billy and The Boingers.  The Rutles.  The Folksmen.  Even Josie and the Pussycats rocked, especially the fake band version from the 2001 film version, while Tom Hanks made sure that The Wonders gelled as a band as well as an acting troupe.  Some people would try and make reference to The Monkees beginnings as a TV show, but your humble MS-QOTD won’t be hearing any such nonsense as a huge Monkees fan.  I’m talking about groups like Shoyu Weenie or Spın̈al Tap, leading to today’s post-modern query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) reminds Faithful Spoilerites that WILLIAM MURDERFACE MURDERFACE MURDERFACE, asking: Which fake band rocks out as hard as any real one?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      The only one that’s inspired me to buy an album would be The Commitments, though Sex Bob-Omb from Scott Pilgrim probably rocks harder.
