Real name: Spın̈al Tap

Effective period / Period of releases: 1984 - 2009

Members: Russ Kunkel, Harry Shearer, Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Jeffery CJ Vanston, Ric Parnell, David Ewer

Parody band. Their name is stylized as Spın̈al Tap, with a dotless i, and a heavy metal umlaut over the n.

John "Stumpy" Pepys (DRUMMER)
An original member of the Thamesmen and Spinal Tap, Stumpy died in a "bizarre gardening accident." When asked about it, Nigel says, "It was really one of those things the authorities said, 'Well, best leave it unsolved.'"

Eric "Stumpy Joe" Childs (DRUMMER)
Childs was the band's second drummer, replacing gardening victim Stumpy Pepys. He died from choking on vomit, which, as the band helpfully points out, was not his own. Exactly whose vomit was never determined by the police. As Nigel so aptly put it, "You can't dust for vomit."

Peter "James" Bond (DRUMMER)
Replacing Childs, Bond played with the band for three years before spontaneously combusting onstage. Nigel described it: "He just was like a flash of green light, and that was it. Nothing was left. Well, there was a little green globule on his drum seat. It was a small stain, actually."
