So I stumbled upon news about Banksy's new "Dismaland-bemusement park"... what a name.

That got me wondering, are there many well-or-lesser-known Banksies in the music industry? Artists, producers, or composers who use a pseudonym/title and maintain their identity secret? Everybody (that 20%) knows the Daft Punk guys' names, that's no secret, neither is that canadian mouse-headed-guy's. It's hard to imagine working that way in the music business. Maybe if one is an EDM-artist who doesn't do live gigs or a low-profile composer.

The Residents may or may not consist of the management.

Jandek...although his real name is known very little else is.

Burial kept it under wraps for a couple of years after the first album.

For years I believed Calvin Harris was his real name!

I saw the Residents in full eyeball gear play at the South Bank about 15 years ago. Or did I?

It isn't?

Come to think of it though, Calvin Harris does sound like an underwear model, but that might be because of the other Calvin.

Banksies in music industry?
