A manufactured image
Fictional music groups: How many can you name? I probably would have managed a dozen or so off the top of my head... but man, there are lots!
Some notables then (ie. ones I like): Drimble Wedge And The Vegetations | Max Frost And The Troopers | The Banana Splits | The Archies | The Carrie Nations | Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kids | Little Ladies | The Rutles | Ellen Aim And The Attackers | Ape Sex / La Llorona / Missiles Of October | Glam Damage | Soggy Bottom Boys
Some of them sound like this:
Drimble Wedge and the Vegetations | Bedazzled
Max Frost and the Troopers | Shape of Things to Come
The Archies | Jingle Jangle
The Carrie Nations | In The Long Run
Ellen Aim and the Attackers | Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young
Glam Damage | Scorched Out For Love (Dubgeist Remix)
Special prize (not really) for telling me where the title of this post is from.

does no one remember terminal crash fear - invented by the melody maker, around the time of the Jesus & mary chain riots
Nope, can't say that I do, probably due to the fact that I mostly read the NME back then. But that reminds me; due to lack of decent Norwegian groups at the time, I used to invent them for the fanzine I wrote. They were great, all of them :-)
(Years later I was approached by someone doing a book on Norwegian rock, wanting to know if I could help put him in contact with one of them...)
