They were originally created for the film This is Spinal Tap (dir Rob Reiner, 1984). But they have released albums, done live shows, etc off the back of the film, so you could say they were a real band - ok, it's parody but very well observed and musically as good as plenty of 'real' rock bands.

Incidentally there is a story that Iron Maiden walked out of the London premiere of the film, because they thought it was taking the p**s out of them specifically.
