Fall Out Boy set to appear on The Simpsons

Matt Groening told XFM that Fall Out Boy are lined up for an appearance on The Simpsons, joining Aerosmith, Paul McCartney and The Who.

Fall Out Boy look set to join the legion of bands that have had cameos on The Simpsons after Matt Groening told XFM that the emo frontrunners are lined-up for an appearance in the next series. They'll be joining a stellar history that includes Aerosmith, Paul McCartney and The Who, though what marks Fall Out Boy out from the rest is that they're the only one [I think] to have actually taken their name from the show (Fall Out Boy being the sidekick of Bart's favourite comic book hero, Radioactive Man). Groening, of course, paid tribute to this fact: "Any band that names itself after a character on the Simpsons will eventually get on it. So, Fall Out Boy, stay tuned".
