A band that relies on its frontman might not deserve to be called a band (according to nitpickers). If a band realizes that, it might be best to name the band after that lead artist. But what about the other members? The frontman doesn't want to discredit them, and in some cases, they also come up with their own material and stand out from being your average backing band. Let's call them "Artist and the Band". This naming device puts emphasis on the band member who provides most of the creative input while also reminding the public that the artist is backed by a group of faithful instrumentalists. In other cases, this isn't the band's native name, and a rebranding happened after that one band member made it big with their solo material. Or in a bigger twist, it could turn out it's just a solo project with a plural name. You may also use variations of that kind of name by using "+", "&" or "And his/her/their". A Sub-Trope to I Am the Band and Sister Trope to Spotlight-Stealing Title, which extends to any media with the same objective marketing-wise, but also uses other naming conventions besides "X and the Y". Might lead to The Band Minus the Face if that lead member leaves and the band doesn't change their moniker. Not to be confused with And the Rest or My Friends... and Zoidberg; those tropes are more dismissive of the other people, while Artist And The Band is about highlighting a backing band. Related to the practice of choosing names that do, in fact, refer to the entire band, but prominently feature the name of the frontman, e.g. "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" or "The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion"; that trope is Egocentric Team Naming. This naming convention is rather recent—as is the practice of a number of musicians contributing to a musical act all going by a collective moniker. Buddy Holly arguably formed a group following the Artist And The Band naming scheme with "Buddy Holly and the Crickets" in 1957, though they were promoted as simply "The Crickets" until after Holly's death. Interestingly, there don’t seem to be many examples of a backing band going on to perform under their name minus the frontman. Make of that what you like. For similar naming conventions, compare and contrast The Noun and the Noun (as in Guns N' Roses) and Name and Name (as in Simon & Garfunkel), which tend to regard the ensemble members all as equal peers, and Protagonist and Friends, where the ensemble name is specifically "And Friends". Not to be confused with the music act known as The Band. |

The mainstream success of early sixties vocal group The Ronettes was thanks to Ronnie Spector and her vocal performance on "Be My Baby" (in fact, she's the only Ronette who sang on that track). This was acknowledged when the band was revived in The '70s under the title Ronnie Spector & The Ronettes. | |

In Full House, Jesse briefly fronts a band named Jesse and the Rippers. That band's name would be reused when John Stamos provided lead vocals on a cover of The Beach Boys's "Forever" (from their Summer in Paradise album) which was released as a single. The band comes back in Fuller House and once again, they play a cover of "Forever". |

Instead of playing themselves, they portray the doubly fictional surf band Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters.

MAD ran a parody of the above situation with the rise and fall of a starlet in a church choir. At first, it's "The Fellows" with just her head sticking out of the row of singers, then it's "The Fellows and Melanie", "Melanie and the Fellows", before apexing at "M" with a closeup of her face. From there it spirals down the way it came, with her a sad, nameless member of the choir again. | |

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars centers around a fictional example, the titular Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Ziggy was an alter ego that Bowie adopted for the album, while the Spiders from Mars referred to his backing band at the time (who themselves released an album without Bowie in 1976, well after Bowie abandoned the Ziggy persona). | |

Steven Universe: In "Steven and the Stevens", Steven forms a band of the eponymous name consisting of him and three alternate versions of himself made as a result of using a magic hourglass upon realizing that it allows him to travel back in time. Sadie's band is called "Sadie Killer and the Suspects," as she's the lead singer, and her frustrated horror-inspired lyrics gave the band its identity. |

The Miami Sound Machine eventually became Gloria Estefan And Miami Sound Machine, before becoming just Gloria Estefan. MAD ran a parody of the above situation with the rise and fall of a starlet in a church choir. At first, it's "The Fellows" with just her head sticking out of the row of singers, then it's "The Fellows and Melanie", "Melanie and the Fellows", before apexing at "M" with a closeup of her face. From there it spirals down the way it came, with her a sad, nameless member of the choir again. MAD #79 had a similar "Rise and Fall" feature, with the starlet starting as a nameless member of a vocal group, advancing from "The Euclid Phlomm Chorale with Patricia Blousen" to "Patricia Blousen and the Euclid Phlomm Chorale," reaching the peak of her career with an album cover showing "Patti" and a closeup of her face, then gradually declining until once again becoming a nameless member of the Euclid Phlomm Chorale. |

Martha and the Muffins is an interesting case, as there were actually two women named Martha in the band, and both sang lead from time to time. It's debatable who was Martha and who was merely a Muffin named Martha. Less so after Martha Ladly (who also played keyboards) left, then they really were a singer (Martha Johnson) and backing group for a couple of years. (Nowadays it's essentially an Artifact Name as the band still includes Martha, but only one regular Muffin, her partner Mark Gane) | |

Parodied with Echo & the Bunnymen, who didn't actually have any members named Echo; a common rumor claims that "Echo" was the name of their drum machine before they hired drummer Pete de Freitas, but the band have denied this. The typical connotations of this trope would, however, lead to people mistakenly calling frontman Ian McCulloch "Echo" more than once. | |

During his tenure with the Faces, the groups' billing changed from "Faces" to "Faces featuring Rod Stewart" and finally "Rod Stewart and Faces" before Ronnie Lane quit and the group essentially just became Stewart's backing band. | |

High Fidelity: The garage band that Barry joins starts out with the name Sonic Death Monkey, but when they open at the record release party for the Kinky Wizards, Barry announces "we're on the verge of being called Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but for tonight we are Barry Jive and the Uptown Five." | |
