Hello and welcome to a (hopefully) grand experiment! The Rocklopedia Fakebandica is now a wiki! Why? There's just too dang many fictional bands out there for one person to keep up with!

Want to add some bands? Email for a login. Post spam or made up stuff and you'll be banned.
Rules? Sure, a few:
- Keep it real. - Please only bands/musicians from published sources. There's plenty out there; you don't need to make up any on your own. Cite as much source information as possible.
- Keep it honest. - Please don't cut and paste other people's work.
- Keep it clean. - Please only use four letter words when they are direct quotes, or part of a band's name, lyrics, album title, etc.
Social stuff
