  • Acres of Parking: Newgrass/country turned commercial, this band celebrates suburbia, commuters, and malls with catchy ditties tailored for sitcom soundtracks. Their innovative harmonies and signature sound are built around an electric dulcimer induce compulsive foot-tapping and an urge to reach for your credit card. See them on tour this Summer!
  • The John Doe Band: Out of obscurity and never to be found.
  • Dr Phil in the Blanks: A rhythm-and-blues band made up of recently graduated urologists. Their first CD release "Vasectomy" will hit stores soon and be available at the office.
  • Some Magical Animal: Derived from Homer Simpson's conversation with his daughter upon her declaring that she is a vegetarian and then telling Homer that bacon, ham and pork chops all come from the same animal.
  • "What's that noise in the corner?" Band:This club band has been around for years, Chances are you probably never seen them, but you've heard them or walked right by them on the your way to the restroom or may even have yelled at them to stop playing during when the game was on TV. And for some reason, people like to put the jukebox on right in the middle of their sets. This band is also known for clearing out clubs that are filled with patrons.
  • The Three Gee's: When Gordon Bombay, George Feeny and Steve Guttenberg meet at an 80's Historical Hockey event, the Three Gee's are born. With Guttenberg's keytair, Johnny #5, Feeny's Knight Rider vocals and Bombay's drinking problem, these gentlemen of the G lay down the tracks that keep your fist pumpin'.
  • One Beat Off: We try to keep up with each other, but usually we're all one beat off. (Style: Alternative rock)
  • The Jerry Maguires: With such monumental hits as "You had me at hello" and "Show me the money!," they are still experiencing mega success despite lead singer Tommy C's decision to go solo (taking with him the band's lucky GOLDFISH).
  • Arma Gedden and the End of Times Band: United together on Planet Earth creating scorching hits like "Too late to Repent," "Can't escape my pointy PITCHFORK," "Y2K was just another day," "Judgement time LOL" and their famous #1 hit "Burn baby burn..!". This band will rock your soul out of the universe!!
  • Rock n Roll Ed & the Technical Difficulties: A one-hit wonder with their only song (and lyric) "Check!"
