Exploitation Post: Not The Grateful Dead

I'm exploiting you again. Run.


Here's the problem. I'm rewriting the first chapter of Haunting Alice and there's a ghost in it and he's been around since 1998 and he had Phish tickets and when Alice tells him they broke up, he gets all depressed and . . . never mind, you don't need to know that part. The point is that evidently the Phish got back together again (I googled, but evidently not enough) so the Phish won't work. Which is a shame because that was funny.


So now I need a cult band that broke up maybe twenty years ago. Not exactly that, somewhere between fifteen or twenty-five years ago is still good. Not the Dead because there are too many jokes about Deadheads already. Plus I knew a guy who loved the Dead once and I wanted to kill him every day I had to work with him. Also, Ethan has this great line, "Be grateful it's not the Dead." Yes, that's how low I'm stooping.


Give me a cult band that broke up roughly twenty years ago that I can be snarky about. Thank you.

Junebugindeed In high school one of my friends had a cassette tape that she would pop in by an Australian band called The Cockroaches. According to wikipedia the band broke up in the early '90s. Here's a link to their biggest hit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXLyDy....

Kaelee Newton My first thought was The Kinks. According to Wikipedia The Kinks were together for 32 years and broke up the mid-90s. Their last public performance together was in 96.
