Length - 01:21:58 Language - R. (Contains adult language.)

Underdogs and upsets create big shake-ups in this latest quarter of our summertime tournament bracket of fake bands. Jared Lowe continues to mastermind our extensive list of pretend musicians and Ka-Pow the Pop Cultured Podcast makes the tough decisions narrowing them down. Length - 01:26:18 Language - R. (Contains adult language.)

Last week, we gave you 25 bands for all 25 states, But after re-counting the stars on the American flag, it seems we have 25 more states to go. No better time than the present! Join us for Montana through Wyoming!

It's time for Ka-Pow the Pop Cultured Podcast to power our way through another region of our tournament bracket of fictional musicians. With special guest Jared Lowe moderating the discussion, we debate and decide on bands from a wide array of popular culture until we hit the halfway point! Length - 01:38:18 Language - R. (Contains adult language.)

We put away our hamburgers and French fries and our illegal Peruvian fireworks and celebrate Independence Day the way the founders wanted: by listing out a fake band from each state!

Dave and Milt crank the amp to 11 and count down the greatest fake bands of all time. That's right—no chart-toppers, no world tours, no actual existence. Just the fictional bands that somehow managed to rock harder than most real ones. We open with a little School of Rock, because if Jack Black doesn't make your fake band list, you're doing life wrong. From there, it's a nostalgic jam session through cinematic and small-screen legends like The Commitments, The Blues Brothers, The Wonders, and—of course—the loudest band in England that's not actually from England: Spinal Tap. Along the way, we unpack listener mail (someone really had feelings about Dr. Teeth), share stories of interns who may or may not be trapped in a basement recording kazoo solos, and ask the big questions—like how many blues brothers is too many? And is Stillwater the best band that never opened for The Allman Brothers? You'll hear music clips, trivia drops, obscure references (you're welcome, Christopher Guest fans), and—brace yourselves—a tease for the new Spinal Tap movie. Yes, it's happening. No, we don't fully understand it either. So if you've ever air-guitared to That Thing You Do, quoted A Mighty Wind unprompted, or shouted "Shama-lama-ding-dong" in polite company… this one's for you. Timestamps (for those who prefer structure in their musical mayhem): 00:00 – Welcome to Past Tens: We're faking it today 01:25 – Listener mail: Love, hate, and one impassioned defense of Jem and the Holograms 03:38 – The countdown begins (cue dramatic VH1 voiceover) 10:25 – #10: School of Rock – Let's rock, let's rock… today 18:42 – #9: The Folksmen – Three-part harmony, one-part folk satire 25:06 – #8: Stillwater – It's all happening (and surprisingly soulful) 33:11 – #7: Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem – Muppets who shred 38:26 – #6: Otis Day & the Knights – Oh yes, we do mind if you dance with our dates 45:19 – #5: The Commitments – Soul power straight outta Dublin 48:19 – Intern tales & unlicensed musical ambition 49:08 – The Commitments, part deux – We really liked this one 52:15 – Flight of the Conchords – New Zealand's 4th most popular parody folk duo 58:20 – The Wonders – That thing they did? Still slaps 01:06:59 – The Blues Brothers – Suited up and still cool 01:11:50 – Honorable mentions: yes, Jesse & the Rippers made the cut 01:26:13 – Spinal Tap – Stonehenge, baby. Always Stonehenge 01:35:13 – Closing thoughts and shameless plugs

Our tournament bracket of imaginary bands and musicians has been narrowed down to 64 entries and in this episode Ka-Pow the Pop Cultured Podcast will finish off another quarter of the list! Jared Lowe returns to moderate this spirited debate and you've got a front row seat. Length - 01:25:26 Language - R. (Contains adult language.)

Velvet Sundown is blowing up on Spotify. Billboard Magazine said they "sound like the memory of something you never lived, and somehow make it feel real." Timbaland find Ta-Ta is another rising star. But maybe you should give us a listen hear before you decide if you want to give these exciting artists a listen there.

It's time for another of our patented tournament-style brackets! Former Coach Mayor Jared Lowe has put together an exhaustive list of fictional bands and musicians from some of our favorite movies, TV shows and attractions, and Ka-Pow the Pop Cultured Podcast is here to match them up against each other and debate until we come up with a winner. Part one features the "play-ins," where we whittle the list down from a ridiculous 88 entries to a more sane 64. Length - 02:54:39 Language - R. (Contains adult language.)

We flip the script this week to talk about real musicians recording real songs. Real songs that just happen to have fake bands in them. From Alexander's Ragtime Band to Ziggy Stardust, here are some of the best.  

In our first episode devoted to folk music (if you discount our Bob Dylan ep), we discuss the many fake bands and artists in Songcatcher, Inside Llewyn Davis, and The Ballad of Wallis Island.

We follow up our DJ A to Z episode by talking with deep house juggernaut DJ 35X.  We learn about his process for creating his songs, his use of artificial intelligence to make that vision a reality, and we take a tour of the DJ 35X Universe and the many fake bands that live there.

We celebrate the greatest movie sequel ever ever EVER by talking about angelic and demonic fake bands. And if we need help, we'll call for famed symbologist Robert Langdon, of course. It's Angels and Demons, this week on the Rocklopedia Fakebandica!

On this episode of the Tone Mob Podcast, Blake is joined by Jesse and William of Top House for a conversation that starts with a ghost in the machine and ends somewhere between band mythologies and pizza philosophies. They unpack the chaotic beauty of songwriting, the grimy reality of touring (spoiler: pee when you can), and why having a fake country band called “Cornfield Boys” might just be the secret to creative freedom. The trio riffs on everything from the dark arts of social media algorithms to the metaphysics of string tension, with stops at Nashville pizza joints and an unsolicited tribute to the Boss tuner pedal. It's part gear talk, part life advice, part fever dream—with enough practical nuggets and absurd detours to keep both your left and right brain happy. Whether you're a musician, a fan, or just someone who appreciates that fine line between genius and nonsense, this episode delivers.

We continue our multi-part series on the fake bands of Saturday Night Live with a discussion of the year that almost killed the show, the long fruitful years after,...and the year that almost killed the show. Kinda like a Double Stuf Oreo, except instead of double stuffed, it's octuple stuffed, and instead of being sandwiched together with cookies, it's sandwiched together by turds. Good luck getting that image out of your mind!

In ROUND 5 of BackTalk, Steve Erickson & I talk about fake music artists. So many have been created for film, TV and beyond. And while most of them don't measure up to the real thing, some do, and a few have even transcended their original medium to become stars in their ow right. We also get into how AI has affected the creation of fake artists and fake music over the last 10-20 years. What fake bands or artists do you remember being better than expected? Do you like when a show or movie inserts a fake band into the story? Or do you find most of them to be pale imitations?

This week, we celebrate that day long ago in Plymouth, Mass., when Americans broke bread with some illegal immigrants. Or Pilgrims. Maybe we should call the immigrants  Pilgrims. Anyway, we choose to mark the holiday by discussing Native American fake bands in pop culture. Because let's face it: Native Americans are the reason we have Thanksgiving in the first place. And it's also hard to find fake bands filled with Pilgrims or turkeys.

It's Halloweek, so we're going to discuss one of the scariest things to ever haunt the world: the many heavy metal fake bands that occupied those “metalsploitation” films of the 1980s. We discuss three of them and wonder if we are wetting our pants from fear...or just age.

This week, we talk about one of the people that shaped popular culture  and changed the world forever. His music and his showmanship are still iconic to this day, and his face adorns as many velvet paintings as Jesus. It's one for the money… two for the show… three to get ready… fake bands go!
