The Rocklopedia Fakebandica

Johnny what’s the deal boy, Is your band for real, boy?

Real songs about fake musicians named John and Johnny. And you thought we couldn’t be any more niche!

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.

It’s Hall of Fame time again!  This time, we throw the doors open and induct a lot of fake band superstars. Because let’s be real, there’s only so much that Fred Armisen and Lynda Carter can talk about with the losers that T. Mike and Alan keep nominating. It’s about to get crowded in the Hall!

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.

It's time to talk about the scandalous immigration policies of this nation. Specifically, the onslaught, the invasion, of DJs infiltrating our fake band world. Every day, another 2.7 fake DJs enter our movies and TV shows, taking jobs away from the hard-working fake rock bands and fictional crooners that built this grand fake band database.  

And honestly, we love it. More content for us! 

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!
