The Mosquitos

There was actually a real life rock band named The Mosquitos, I know because I bought a "greatest hits" cd of theirs a couple years ago although I hadn't heard of them before. It's actually a double cd album with lots of songs and it's titled This Then Are...The Mosquitos LOL. I'm not even sure if that's grammatically correct! LOL but I think they're all right. I can't even tell you for sure when the band was active though.

Ed.

There's an episode of the sci-fi TV show Buck Rogers In The 25th Century that centers around a futuristic rock band named Andromeda.

But John Stamos has played with The Beach Boys in real life. That's why the Beach Boys were in an episode of Full House playing themselves.
