nonexistent pretentious indie/punk/emo bands

23-piece? I though two of them died while trying to complete the ritual sacrifice of a major appendage. They bled out and the remaining 21 members made a concept album about their deaths.
I was also always a fan of The Golf Clubs, a preppy ska band also out of New Zealand. They all moved to America so they could scout out country clubs at which to film their videos. Their first album, Three Under Par, sold almost 400 copies.
La Creme:
Oh, sorry I forgot about "Buy This Album Because Our Violist And Didgeridoo Player Just Died And We Need Money For Pimp-Ass Black Sarcophagi". I personally thought it was just a little too straight-forward. I'm more into their earlier stuff like "Blood Shimmers Best When You Shine On It With Pale Slate Grey Light That Gains It's Unique Hue By Being Filtered Through The Stretched Skin Of Porpoises Sacrificed To The Elder Gods".

ALPHATRON
ALPHATRON (Algebraic Lithographic Processing of Heuristic Algorithms, Titration Renderings and Obsolete Negativities) was built as an experimental computer in the seventies. Designed to perform obscenely complex mathematical calculations using chemical reactions, it proved useless for any scientific purpose whatsoever. Then the lab technicians hit upon a stroke of pure genius. By injecting the main chemical tank with LSD and concentrated THC, replacing the main tape loop with a copy of Pink Floyds 'Meddle', and hooking the whole thing up to a minimoog they transformed ALPHATRON into the ultimate psychedelic rock machine. Unfortunately, as ALPHATRON is the size of a double decker bus it doesn't tour much, but it does record a good deal of material, but it can never get a decent promotion for them because it has no way of signing record contracts. It's collaboration with Genesis P-Orridge and Whitehouse (Entitled EEEEEYAAARGGGHHH after the noise test listeners made when they heard it) is reasonably famous in underground circles. It is considered extremely good taste to own a copy and list it as one of your favourite records but on no account to ever listen to it.*
As a piece of trivia, ALPHATRON is also believed by many to have come up with Quantum theory and to have devised the formula for 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here', and is in fact the only machine ever to have technically passed the Turing test, being disqualified however for being 'completely bonkers'.
*Most speaker systems licensed for civilian use will catch fire if you try anyway. Chilean police use it for riot control purposes.

Fossilized Junipers
An indie/folk band that is based in a small town called Fossil in Oregon. They have managed to get a small cult following from young students who go to Fossil on school field trips to learn about nature and crap. They are also popular with much of Eastern Oregon (if you know anything about Eastern Oregon, you know that doesn't add up to a lot of people). They have two guitarists, a singer, and a percussionist who has been known to use rocks, bones, and nature guides as well as a set of home-made drums.
Their songs are usually about their love of nature, but one of their more controversial songs was about their duty to population control by serving "food" that's not very edible.
Johnny C:
Eh, The Forest Rangers (not to be confused with the elf-metal band, The Rangers) already played out the whole "lovin' nature" thing when they released Sticks And Stones back in '91.
