* ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|2017}}'' (2017): The Three Caballeros are reimagined as having been one in this continuity, with Donald Duck, Panchito Pistoles and José Carioca having literally practiced in Scrooge's garage during their college years, much to the latter's annoyance.

* ''Series/JulieAndThePhantoms'' has Sunset Curve, a 90's garage rock band who were about to get their big break with a gig at the Orpheum, butthree of the four members died before they even got to play. Years later the ghosts of the three dead members met a living girl in the old garage where they used to play (as her family now owns it) and form a new band, the eponymous Julie and the Phantoms.

* In ''Discworld/SoulMusic'', there's Insanity/The Whom/The Surruptitious Fabric/The Blots/And Supporting Bands. Due to an absence of cars (and hence of garages), they reherse in Crash's dad's stables.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'' naturally uses this trope. [[DontExplainTheJoke Because "groj" sounds like "garage."]]

This trope is often played in fiction as a ragtag group of teenagers, for bonus points it may be a group of {{Emo Teen}}s, forming a band. More rarely, it will consist of middle-aged adults; usually this is PlayedForLaughs, or to show what [[LoserProtagonist losers]] they are for doing something ''usually'' associated with teenagers or twenty-somethings, as if to say WereStillRelevantDammit Sometimes the band is a spur of the moment thing, started as a weekend project or to win a talent show and becomes the plot of the episode. Often the band will break up at the end of the episode.
