They *are* very much a band, thank you very much, just one that happened to use fictional names and characters in a movie. McKean, Guest, and Shearer are actually in another band as well -- a folk act called The Folksmen. Fans of Spinal Tap (Tapheads) are active participants in the band's ever-growing mythology and treat the group as if it were absolutely real. We know that it's all a joke, but it's much more fun to play along with the gag. And before you lecture me any further on Spinal Tap, I suggest you actually take a look at the FAQ I mantain: http://www.chiprowe.com/tap/articles/tapfuq.txt --Joe--
