If there were a festival made up of fictional bands or artists with real music, who would you be most eager to see? (hexbear.net)

Genres don't matter here, just that the group is fictional but with real music, so HUNTR/X and Dethklok would both be there.

(I haven't decided if the Gorillaz or Hatsune Miku count)

Gorillaz should count. Isn't it basically the cartoon alter ego of Blur?

Gorillaz canonically had a band member from powerpuff girls. I think it counts

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

Wait which one?

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

One of the members of the Gangreen gang (Ace) from powerpuff girls was a stand in for Murdoc in story while Murdoc was in prison. (Murdoc is of course also a fictional character)

That's awesome!

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Dr Teeth and The Electric Mayhem, I guess

[-] HarryLime@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

Hell yeah

[-] Azarova@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

I would say Dethklok but I don't think dying horribly would be worth it.

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Zazz Blammymatazz, on the other hand (as long as the venue is 18+...)

Absolutely not Sex Bob-ombs. The Clash at Demonhead is better but they're still bad.
Which I kind of like. I mean I'd also like it if the music was good so it's a bit of a cop out, but I find the fact that the bands of Scott Pilgrim are bad very fitting thematically.

GO TO DMC! GO TO DMC!

Do the Blues Brothers count?

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

I'm genuinely kind of surprised no one said Kessoku Band (or w/e) yet

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

The band I'd most like to see from that show is SICK HACK

The Dethalbum was also really good.
