The Archies weren't a real band. The Partridge Family sorta kinda was. The Monkee's weren't supposed to be. And Three Dog Night was a masterfully produced collection of songwriters and lead vocalists that dominated Pop Rock but never tore up the Classic side of listening.
Toss in Hollywood's attempt at making Rock movies and the spotlight will shine all night. Is there anybody bigger and more fake than Spinal Tap?
Thirty years after embracing the ticket taker race at theaters... Hollywood's most famous not-so-real set of musicians are set to tie their shoes and hit the real road.
Michael McKean has always joked about being a fake band that's played Wembley, Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall and other weird places. But according to the Lavern and Shirley star turned big screen actor, the toughest part about going out on the road...has nothing to do with living up to where their imaginary places, stages and groupies. It's staying in character. Faking a great British accent without falling off the beer the wagon is a serious art form.
Asked about reuniting. The bands response is always,“ We get asked to do shows on a regular basis. But what I will say is that we’re in the midst of talking about something for next year.”
Keeping on the edge of a shadow is Christopher Guest who's launching a new sitcom called Family Tree. Look who's in it Michael McKean! Who once again is sporting Englishman's accent.
Hmmmm is it practice for the tour or do American's love middle aged men with fake British accents?
Tour dates will be posted the moment Hollywood sets them free
