I heard of another instance like this, and I thought it was The Zombies, but a quick search jogged my memory on that story, which I'll share since I'm here
The band The Zombies from Europe somewhere had broken up by the time their song hit it big in the US, and so nobody knew how to get in contact with them. So since nobody also knew what the original band even looked like, the record company decided to just get a group of musicians together to go on tour as The Zombies. Two of those band members went on to form the band ZZ Topp.
If anyone knows the other story I'm trying to think of, please let me know

Do you have a source for this? The Zombies I'm familiar with don't have that history.

Wow! Thanks very much.
> Ultimately, the actual Zombies had no ill will. In fact, Rod Argent cracked a joke: "When we finish our tour, we have to go out as a ZZ Top tribute band and repay the compliment," he told the Toronto Star in 2017.

No problem. Glad you found it as neat as I did

The wiki article you linked literally has that story under “post-zombies”
