Fictional groups that also existed

Some music groups have started off as fictitious, only to later become real bands. For example, the group in the film The Commitments was entirely fictional, but the cast later toured as a real band. Likewise The Rutles, invented for the mockumentary All You Need Is Cash, later reformed and released an album of new material not connected to the film.

The case of Milli Vanilli is especially odd. They started out as an anonymous pop act. The two actors who appeared onscreen in the act's first video became so popular they were sent out on the road as a (supposedly) real group, lip synching to the original singers' voices.

• The Anarchy 6
• The Blues Brothers
• The Cheetah Girls
• The Commitments
• Heaven 17
• Josie and the Pussycats
• The Little Ladies from Rock Follies
• Massacration
• Milli Vanilli
• The Monkees
• Platinum Weird
• Professor LaPlano and the Planotones
• Purple Filth
• The Rutles
• Spinal Tap
• Tyskarna från Lund
• [[David Bowie#1969 to 1973: Glam rock|Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars]]

There have been many instances where real bands have figured as fictional characters in books or movies. Oftentimes the groups play themselves onscreen. Some examples include:

• The Beatles: played themselves in Help! and A Hard Day's Night; played by other actors in such films as Backbeat and I Wanna Hold Your Hand
• Kiss: Detroit Rock City
• The Ramones: Rock 'n' Roll High School
• The Sex Pistols: Sid & Nancy

Then there are the cases where a real group steals the name of a fictional group. Some notable examples are:

• Heaven 17 - 1980s New Wave band inspired by A Clockwork Orange
• The Killers - Synth rock band inspired by a New Order video.
• Megadeth - Heavy metal band inspired by a National Lampoon Radio Hour skit.
• Sick Dick & the Volkswagons - Avant-garde noise band named after a band in The Crying of Lot 49.
• Toad the Wet Sprocket - Named after a fake band from the "Rock Notes" sketch on Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album

Also there is a case, where a fictitious band steals the name of a real band.

• In High Fidelity, listed above, the band Kathleen Turner Overdrive used was an Atlanta band who released an eponymous CD on Boogers Banquet in 1994 and contained Drivin' N' Cryin' member Tim Nielsen.
