The group's lead singer Brian Slade (played by Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) was patterned after real glam rockers Jobriath and David Bowie. On the movie's soundtrack, the group consisted of Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood, ex-Suede member Bernard Butler, and former Roxy Music member Andy Mackay. 2) Highly acclaimed outfit originally based in Sussex, England.
