8 Awful Bands You Won't Believe Are Still Going

Shame on you if you recognised the Vengaboys. Seriously.

The "never say die" attitude of musicians is often something to be admired. Artists like Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, or David Bowie are still going strong decades after they first took the world by storm. To pinpoint one definitive song, the one that defines their career, is almost impossible considering their large and influential body of work. They can never be confined to just one era of music as they've been relevant through several, often reinventing themselves and their music. It's a testament to their importance in music history, and the fact that they sell out massive arenas only confirms it. Then there are bands that should've quit a long time ago but never got the memo. For these bands the "never say die" mantra has taken a whole new meaning as they continue to persevere years after their popularity has flatlined. Their musical legacy is relegated to being one hit wonders of yesteryear and the ironic song choice at karaoke night. They're the nostalgic act at the festival mistaking the line for the bathroom for an audience of loyal fans who want to see them keep the dream alive. They might even be playing in a local club near you. You just didn't know they still existed.

Just like Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse, Mickey Galie is the best friend a good time ever had.
