In Franklin Marsh's A Delicate Undertaking (you'll need to be logged in) Ker-Pow, "Britain’s premier T’Pau tribute band", perform an impromptu pub gig for an audience of Funeral Directors out on the razz. Relax, they're soundly punished, but even so - those poor Undertakers. Author's previously hushed up, something more than rudimentary knowledge of Carol Decker & the other ones' set-list can only add to the terror.

small T-Pau related anecdote:
My first job upon leaving school was as a trainee shoe repairer in Bognor Regis. My boss was a very nice man from Portsmouth who had recently split up from his wife. He had a bowl haircut and a big moustache. At close of play each day, I had to go to the shop and get him four Hoffmeister whilst he cashed up, whilst listening to 'Bridge Of Spies' by T'Pau in full on his little stereo.
...As you were...

Further to the (excellent) list of rock bands from Shea & Wilson's "Illuminatus" trilogy, here's a list of bands that really exist(ed) and whose names really deserve a wider audience. Whether their music does is obviously another matter entirely... See www.brightlightsfilm.com/weirdbandnames/.

Karl Edward Wagner's Beyond Any Measure in the Giant Mammoth Book Of Vampires gives us New Wavers Needle - who can't hold an audience of depraved cocaine 'n' champagne crazed hipsters - their front man was Nemo Skagg apparently.

Iorga Ruthven and Weltschmerz take Neasden's notorious The Graveyard by storm in Fritz Maitland Richard Allen's steamy, if ultimately heartbreaking cautionary tale, Goth Bint (another you'll-need to-be-logged-in affair).
