The Rocklopedia Fakebandica

In honor of the 20th anniversary of the premiere of NBC’s The Office, we discuss David Brent, Scrantonicity, Andy Bernard, and the other fake bands and musicians from both the UK and US versions.

This week, we skip the green beer, pinching, and shamrocks and instead get our craic from the fake Irish musicians in Once, Sing Street, and Flora and Son. 

This week, we discuss the greatest fake band of the 2020s, or at least our favorite. It's time to talk about the band Lady Parts, the all-Muslim woman punk band from the show We Are Lady Parts!

Hey cool cats, grab a $5 shake and your “I Like Ike” paraphernalia and come celebrate our 50th episode with a look at fake bands in the 1950s.

This week, we mark the coming of Ramadan by doing what three old white guys do… we act like we know what we’re talking about with respect to Islam. At least you’ll learn about Taqwacore and hear K'naan rap some of Don Dellilo's dope rhymes.

On this episode of the show, Alan is on a break and Charles and T. Mike also take a break—a commercial break. In light of the big game last week, we're talking about some big fake bands coming out of the advertising industry. 

Join us on a speedrun through an alphabet of fake hip hop acts in movies, TV, albums, textbooks, and…police actions.

This week we celebrate Australia Day by going to where the women glow and the fake bands thunder. Join us as we get under 20th Century Oz, Garage Days, and The Sapphires.
