Movies feature original songs by fictional bands more often than you might think. Some of the bands on screen are good enough to trick us into thinking we can get tickets to their next show. Unfortunately, they only exist within the confines of the movie. I would definitely put up with Ticketmaster’s fees and insane pricing if it meant seeing these musical acts live.
1. Figlin Dan and the Modal Node (Star Wars: A New Home (1977))
Even if it’s not a big name Star Wars Fans will recognize the seven-member ensemble of quick-witted Bis who welcomes viewers to Charmun’s spaceport cantina on Tatooine. To date, Figlin Dan and the Modal His Node is known for his three songs, the most famous being “Mad About Me”. I’d love to see what happens when this talented septet performs live across the world. Star Wars universe.
Unlike most of the bands that appear in the films, Figrin’ Dan and his accompanying musicians are not prominently featured in their respective films, and are quickly overshadowed by the arrival of Han Solo. Still, they have left enough of an impact to remain a part of the universe. Star Wars: Battlefront II, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Disney Infinity 3.0, lego star warsand some short stories.
2. The Wonder of That Thing You Do (1996)
The Wonders, a one-hit wonder band aptly named, headlined the film, which depicts the trials and tribulations of rising stars. The eponymous track from the movie is catchy and upbeat. Created by real-life Academy Award-nominated musician and songwriter Adam Schlesinger, The Wonders have a chemistry that makes you want to see them return to the stage.
Granted, none of the cast, from Tom Everett Scott to Steve Zahn, were actually in “That Thing You Do,” but they were able to play Milli Vanilli through their performances. Or learn to sing it. In any case, I’d like to see what kind of pop hits The Wonders can “mass-produce” besides the few that appear in the movie.
3. Marvin Berry and the Starlighters from Back to the Future (1985)
Believe it or not, the headliner at Enchantment Under the Sea Dance is not a real band. Marvin Berry and the Starlighters belted out a perfectly pitched version of “Earth Angel,” but their musical history goes as far as it goes. When you think about it, you realize how important this band was to George and Lorraine, and how it ignited their love that November night in 1955. Without Marvin Berry and the Starlighters, there would be no Marty, and that alone deserves praise.

Chaz Darby, Rex and Pip may be taking a radical approach to getting their music played on the radio, but who can blame them for being passionate about their craft? Will it be possible? Even if you’re not a fan of their hard rock sound, you’ll definitely fall in love with their charisma and charm. And who wouldn’t want to see Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler reprise their roles and take the stage for a reprisal performance?
5. Pink Slip “Freaky Friday” (2003)
I have strong memories of my little self singing along to the catchy song “Take Me Away” by Pink Slip, the fictional band in the movie. Freaky Friday. There’s no denying it’s a jam! Pink Slip is the band formed by Lindsay Lohan’s character in this popular coming-of-age drama. The songs they perform at House of Blues are covers of songs by Australian alternative rock band Rush.

8. “The Soggy Bottom Boys” from “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” (2000)
One of the most famous musical talents on screen is the Coen brothers’ Soggy Bottom Boys. O brother, where are you? Although George Clooney doesn’t actually sing lead vocals, the music is wonderfully catchy and many fans wish the band existed in real life. They have a folky sound that’s fun and danceable, but they’re all very authentic if you ask me.
9. Stillwater by Almost Famous (2000)
