Some of the greatest bands of all-time are actually fictional bands from movies and TV shows. If only we could actually see them perform live!
Over the years, there have been countless movies and TV shows focusing on bands that aren’t actually real. Sometimes, it’s quite obvious and comical, while other times you might have had no idea it wasn’t about a real band. They can be grounded in reality or over the top–there are examples of it all in your favorite pieces of entertainment. However, can we all agree we wish these 5 fictional bands from movies and TV were real?
What Are The Best Fictional Bands From TV And Movies?
Recently, I shared some examples of fictional food from movies and shows that look delicious. Now, it’s time for some fictional bands. Not only are there shows and movies about fake bands, but there have also been several songs that were made specifically for these works of art. One of my favorite examples is “Scotty Doesn’t Know” from the movie EuroTrip. It became a hit classic, but it’s actually from a real band–so it can’t make the list. Granted, the real band doesn’t have Matt Damon on vocals, but I count them as non-fiction, nonetheless.
We’ve seen fictional bands in comedies, mockumentaries, dramas, and even in some animated shows. It can be a great way to create comedic situations or to parallel what real bands go through without having to worry about securing a band’s rights or anything. I imagine that can be quite the process when you could simply invent a band, instead.
When thinking about some of the fictional bands from movies and TV to add to the list, several came to mind right away. However, that doesn’t necessarily make them the best. I wanted this list to be quality and agreed upon by the majority. So, I had to do a bit of homework. While doing my research, I was blown away by how many there are! I had forgotten about some of these, and in many cases I didn’t realize they were fictional bands! I guess I always thought “Josie And The Pussycats” was a real band. I guess I didn’t really pay attention to the movie. Likewise, the same thing with “Cheetah Girls” I thought it was a real group. However, they only became a real group after the movie came out and they did some shows and stuff. Note that those 2 bands will not be appearing on the list below. We can consider them to be honorable mentions, though?
Let’s get to the list! What bands would you add to the list that you’d love to see live and in-person but will likely never be able to because they aren’t real? Let us know!
