Ian Rubbish and the Bizzaros
From a Saturday Night Live Short, “Ian Rubbish and the Bizzaros” was a one note bit, but showed a historical perspective of an English Punk Band who became fans of the establishment. Incidentally, Rubbish (played by Fred Armisen) would receive an additional life elsewhere, but without the mainstream audience, does it really have a shot?

The Gutter Cats

Gutter Cats The
Didn’t Kelly Bundy seem perfect for a late 80’s/early 90’s Hair Metal Rock and Roll Video? On Married…With Children, that is exactly what happened, as she was the “girl” in the video for the Gutter Cats. Who are they? Does it really matter, as this Sitcom often created their own canon of fictitious Metal bands. At least this one we saw.




The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Married With Children (1990)

Actors:
Anthony Smedlie
Bobby Lycon
Jonny Black
Josh Blake

Songs you might remember:
Decoy Woman

Why you should vote for them:
Of all the fictitious bands from this Sitcom gem, this was the only band we saw.

Why you should not vote for them:
A one off shot where the groupie was the star does not a Hall of Fame entrant make.

Drake Parker Band

Drake Parker Band
From Nickelodeon’s successful teen Sitcom, Drake & Josh, the main protagonist had his own band, which although got a lot of screen time, did not seem to have a name; at least not one that we are aware of. Regardless, Drake Bell (who played Drake Parker) could at least sing and play guitar, which may elevate him higher than most on the ballot.

Zora Banks

Zora Banks
In the category of those we almost forgot about, Zora Banks (Sanaa Latham) was the female lead against Wesley Snipes where she was an aspiring singer (though admittedly we don’t recall her singing much) in the HBO movie, Disappearing Acts.   Actually, is that not a perfect name for their careers?



The Bullet Points:
TV Movie Appeared:
Disappearing Acts (2000)

Actor:
Sanaa Latham

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for her:
We don’t have a lot here.

Why you should not vote for her:
Didn’t we explain this when we had Latham in the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame?
