Bands from TV & Movies That Should Have Been Real

In Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, The Carrie Nations front a wild rise through the Los Angeles music scene. Actress Lynn Carey provided the powerhouse vocals, especially on tracks like “Find It” and “Come With the Gentle People.” The film leaned into the late 1960s shift toward louder, more experimental rock. While the group never toured as a standalone act, the soundtrack built a following, and Carey later performed some of the songs live.
