Fictional bands created for movies can be quite convincing. Sometimes, they're so good in the movie they become real. For instance, Otis Day And The Knights, the made-up band that got the party going in
Animal House with their ribald rendition of "
Shout," went on the road as the self-proclaimed "#1 Party Band in America," fronted by DeWayne Jessie, who played Otis Day in the film. They played lots of college bars and even released an album.
Here, we name a band and you tell us if it was always real or if it was fabricated for a movie. Not all of the real bands are still active, and some of the fake bands were played by real musicians.
