They performed a couple of times under the name Club Sex, but moved on to Don Broco to be taken more seriously. They even wore the costumes on stage, and sold the jackets as merch for fans to play along.īefore Don Broco were Don Broco, they were Club Sex. Not to spoil the rest of this list, but we'll be honest here and let you in on the fact that this isn't the only appearance from My Chemical Romance.ĭuring the 'Danger Days' album cycle, the band each adopted their own comic book character and costume, and it was pretty damn amazing. THE FABULOUS KILLJOYS, AKA MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE Foo Fighters have been using the alter-ego The Holy Shits since 2014 where they played a festival slot at Firefly under their pseudonym, and played to 300 people at London's House Of Vans.Ġ6. If you ever hear of a band called The Holy Shits playing a small venue near you AND Foo Fighters just happen to be in town shortly after? Get yourself a ticket.

Here's a list of nine bands that were the alter-egos of some of the biggest bands in our world.

Whether it's for secret shows, or to bring more magic to an album's concept- we love it when big bands adopt alter-egos.
