What is the name of Oz's band in Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

The story behind the answer

Oz’s band in Buffy the Vampire Slayer is called Dingoes Ate My Baby.

Oz plays guitar in the fictional rock band, which performs regularly at The Bronze, Sunnydale’s nightclub and a major gathering place for the Scooby Gang. The group is first mentioned in the unaired pilot and appears on-screen beginning with the second-season episode “Inca Mummy Girl.” Devon MacLeish is the only other band member named in the series.

The unusual name refers to the widely publicized 1980 disappearance and death of Australian infant Azaria Chamberlain. The phrase became associated with media coverage of the case, making it one of the show’s darker examples of pop-cultural humor.

A frequent mix-up concerns the music itself. Dingoes Ate My Baby is fictional, but the performances were supplied by the real band Four Star Mary. Four Star Mary’s songs were used for the fictional group, and the band also appeared as itself in the episode “Restless.”
