Who was this "band" ???

Some of you might remember a show that ran on EmptyVee back in the mid 80's called "The Young Ones". After the Young Ones ended, a couple of the guys from the show were in another show about a hard rock band. I can't remember the name of the show or the band and that is what is driving me crazy. For some reason, i keep wanting to say that the band was a bunch of "has-beens" aka "Spinal Tap", but much harder and current sounding. From what i can recall, this band even did a real live musical tour of America.

Can anybody remember what the name of this band was and if the show that i am talking about was a series or a one-off movie / skit ? I know that some of you "aging derelicts" have to have seen this and know what i'm talking about, so we'll see who survived their youth and is still the most coherent : ) Sean
