Foregone Conclusion

Foregone Conclusion is a fictional rock band fronted by the comedian Ricky Gervais as his character David Brent from UK comedy TV series "The Office".
Background.
Formed in Slough before Brent began his career in the paper industry, the band was composed of Brent (vocals and rhythm guitar), Reggie Mental, and Craig "Mammogram" Monkford (lead guitar). They were signed to Juxtaposition Records.
Brent was lead singer/songwriter, and was credited with songs including "Spaceman Came Down", "The Serpent that Guards the Gates of Hell", "Free Love Freeway", "Paris Nights (Goodnight My Sweet Princess)" and political reggae song "Equality Street". "Equality Street" was re-recorded with rapper and comedian Doc Brown for the 2013 Comic Relief.
Brent claims that Foregone Conclusion were once supported by "little-known Scottish outfit"—Texas.
Comeback.
On 18 September 2013, it was announced on Gervais's Twitter that Foregone Conclusion would be reforming and appearing for two shows at the Bloomsbury Theatre, London, UK. Tickets went on sale on 1 October 2013, selling out in under one minute. This was followed in May 2014 by a UK tour, including two sold-out nights at Hammersmith Apollo.
The current line-up of Foregone Conclusion (excluding Brent/Gervais, who features on vocals and rhythm guitar) features Andy Burrows (formerly of Razorlight) on drums, Steve Clarke (formerly DumDums) on bass, Stuart Monkford (formerly DumDums) on guitar and Michael Clarke (formerly Clarksville) on keyboards.
