Hey Blue Bow readers! I'm comin' atcha from Easily Entertained where I talk about all things pop culture: books, movies, fashion, Hollywood hunks, television, celebrity gossip, and music. As I was watching That Thing You Do the other day (it's one of my favorites, I can't turn it off if I catch it on TV) I couldn't help but think about how much I love The Oneders and wish they were a real band. Then I started thinking about other movies and TV shows that revolve around fictional bands. Hannah Montana, Spinal Tap, The Blues Brothers, The Monkees, The Partridge Family, and Jem popped into my mind. But what about all those fake bands that are just a bit part of the storyline? Some are actually pretty good and some are just plain hilarious. Here are my top ten.

Who is your favorite faux band? Did I leave any out?

I love Ross' and Chandler's band. :)
And another one I like: Hey that's my bike from the movie Reality Bites.

Haha I love this! When I had my bad cold a few weeks back I would watch Saved By the Bell reruns and I saw an ep with Zach Attack! I hadn't remembered that band until then!
