MilkCan

MilkCan was a fictional band created by Masaya Matsuura and Rodney Greenblat to be the main band in the video game UmJammer Lammy, released in 1999. The band was an offshoot of the PaRappa the Rapper secret band, Katy & the Sunny Funny Band (a homage to KC and the Sunshine Band and to accompany Katy's love for 1970s culture), but characters Lammy and Ma-San were developed specifically for the game.
In promotion for the game, the real band held a concert over at the Roxy NYC in October 1999. As the concert was open to people 21 years or up, there was a webcast that was put on the UmJammer Lammy game site (it still exists, even though the link is broken) for younger viewers to see. Despite this, the game was a commercial failure (joking said around the fanbase due to its "girly" artwork and similar concept to PaRappa the Rapper), but a critical success.
In 2001, the band came back in PaRappa the Rapper 2, but like its predecessor, it failed to meet sales. From then on, Rodney and Masaya retired the band.
