The Birthers: S/T
The Birthers are an American pop music band that was founded in 2008 in order to perform during presidential campaign rallies of Hillary Clinton. The band broke up after Clinton failed to get the Democratic nomination. However, the band soon reformed with a new group of musicians devoted to the McCain/Palin campaign.
Most critics panned the band's music as a throwback to earlier sounds of the 1950s and 1960s, such as Pat Boone and Mitch Miller. In spite of poor reviews, the band's albums continued to sell to largely white, Midwestern and Southern audiences.

By late 2010, it was clear that The Birthers had carved out a niche in the music industry. They marketed their recordings as being "performed by real Americans" and included copies of band members' official birth certificates in all of their recording packages.
The band's single Show Us the Birth Certificate reached #3 on the Billboard Top 40 chart in February 2011. In March of that year, billionaire reality TV show star Donald Trump selected the song as a potential 2012 presidential campaign theme.

Blundar and the Rockin’ Barbarians
The strange story of “Blundar and the Rockin’ Barbarians”
A metal techno-punk group that appeared out of nowhere in early 2009 and who released only one record, “Pillage and Plunder” in March of that year. It was released on vinyl and met with some critical success. The band played small venues throughout Europe from May through early July. Fans were especially amused by the band’s Bass player as the musician appeared to be a floating robot bristling with weapons. Described by the band as an advanced holographic skin the weapons did appear to work whenever overly curious fans attempted to get too close to the Bass player. The resulting lawsuits limited the band’s performance options until the band was offered to head-line a big rock concert in the home town of one of the band’s performers, Atilla the Honey. What happened at the concert is open to some dispute but there can be no doubt that the band, “Blundar and the Rockin’ Barbarians” are no more. What follows is the initial press release:
Tragedy and Shock in Błåwscöw
Dateline: July 28, 2009 Błåwscöw, Georgia Republic
Shock and horror occurred at an outdoor rock concert near the picturesque town of Błåwscöw when and estimated crowd of 15,000 happy concert-goers were robbed and terrorized by what eyewitnesses describe as human pirates and floating robots who disembarked from a UFO. Authorities have been quick to denounce the UFO allegations as the drunken ramblings of shocked citizens but there is no doubt that a massive robbery took place. Queries that authorities confiscated the few remaining cameras and cell phones that had not been taken by the thieves has been met by stony silence. Even more puzzling are accounts that the head-line band, Blundar and the Rockin’ Barbarians, participated in the massive robbery and fled with the pirates on the alleged UFO. A Europe wide warrant has been issued by Interpol for the band members but so far no arrest has been made.

Charlie's Meltdown: Total Frickin' Rock Star from Mars
Following their 2011 smash U.S. hit "I'm the Winner", Hollywood indie rock group Charlie's Meltdown released their debut album "Total Frickin' Rock Star from Mars" to rave reviews. The band subsequently negotiated one of the most lucrative recording contracts in the history of the music business.Shortly after the release of the album, the band received negative publicity involving drugs, prostitutes, and assault charges. The police were called to a Beverly Hills hotel where the lead singer, Tuna Halfman, was found hiding in a closet and high on cocaine.
The band's record label initially stood by them. However, they were subsequently dropped from their contract when bassist Lousey Sitcom made anti semitic remarks about record executives during a radio interview.
As of this writing, the band's future is still in question. Rumors of drug rehab and child custody disputes are following drummer Whitey Privilege. Guitarist and songwriter O. Verpaid has remained silent.
