The only virtual/cartoon bands I know of are Gorillaz

and (Metalocalypse's) DethKlok

and I guess Vocaloid counts too…

any others?

Do you mean something like these guys?

I guess you can count Interstella 5555 The Crescendolls Band! that Daft Punk used in their Discovery Album videoclip/songs

Well if we want to go old school…

My favourite band 5ever

In live action, the Monkees and the Partridge Family were virtual bands that became real bands.

There were some awful '70s-'80s cartoons about bands: Jem and the Holograms, Josie and the Pussycats, Jabberjaw.

Alvin and the Chipmonks were a single gag (songs sound funny when sped up) that got repeated for decades.

Priss and the Replicants from Bubblegum Crisis were a side attraction but sounded great. Konya wa hurricane!

I already said Gorillaz, sorry.

I have a seen a whole bunch but don't particularly know of many.

Bands that exist only in cartoons or video games?

I’m a residential Simpsons nerd, so I can name a couple from there.

You’ve got:

AB/CD, Alaska Nebraska, Alacatrazz, The Be Sharps (who happen to be from one of my favorite episodes), Captain Bart and the Tequila Mockingbirds, Sadgasm, Jazzy Goodtimes Band, The Party Posse (also from an awesome episode) and Roofi that I can think of at the moment.

Also, I think Saved By the Bell has had a few fictional bands, but none that I can name off of the top of my head right now.
