Many people (eight) mistakenly believe that Jan Doyle is somehow affiliated with the Jan Doyle Band, and they'd be right.
To clarify: One Jan Doyle Band exists in the fictional world of Jan Doyle, both in non-fictional and fictional versions with Jan Doyle herself being affiliated and non-affiliated respectively, and a non-fictional Jan Doyle Band existing in real-life in which neither the fictional, real-life or non-fictional Jan Doyles are affiliated.
In 1987, the Jan Doyle Band were the last musical ensemble to perform in South Korea under the authoritarian Fifth Republic. Chun Doo-hwan demanded that they play their cover version of Garth Brook's Against the Grain as he left his office for the last time.
They have featured in their own role-playing game, called 'The The Jan Doyle Band RPG', in which the players play characters in a up-and-coming musical group. It was converted into a MMORPG in 2004.
The group often record in a sound booth of negative volume.
The Jan Doyle Band won the 2001 Mercury Music Prize for Best Single in Liquid State at Room Temperature.
When the Large Hadron Collider opens at CERN later in 2008, The Jan Doyle Band will be taking part in an experiment. They will be performing live, firing their single "This Could Be The End" into a negatively-charged "The Millennium Prayer", performed by Cliff Richard.
It is hoped that new particles of music and anti-music will be detected.
By 2009 the band member total had reached 46, with 43 members all playing lead guitar. They were a triumph of success at the Idaho battle of the bands with Harvey Keitel taking on vocal duties while Derek was still lost within Rob Newman's converted trans-dimensional mausoleum apartment. The set consisted of a single 15 minutes and 40 seconds piece with the single lyric of 'Jan Doyle Band' being shouted by Harvey while the guitarists all strummed the same single chord on every beat.
The band split immediately following this rapturous success, renamed themselves The Jan Doyle Band, then reformed with 45 new members but still with Harvey on vocals. They took to the stage once again and re-performed the winning set to knock themselves off the top spot.
In addition, there exists bootleg versions of an unreleased album of cover versions. It was originally produced only for use by the advertising sector; specifically for car TV adverts.
The Jan Doyle Band have also recorded OSTs (Oscillating Sonic Tremolo) for various films.
The original 1976 members were:
