If you like stereotypes, terrible puns, and music - something you can lose a lot of sleep over, is trying to think of potential ethnic parody bands. Here are some that Nick G and I created.
Italian 80s pop/rock band - Mario Speedwagon
Japanese post-punk band - Sushi and the Banshees
African soft rock AM radio number one hit making duo - Zaire Supply
Orthodox Jewish metal band, quite big in the late nineties - Fear Phylactery
Communist Russian hillbilly southern hard rock band - Lenin Skynyrd
Traditional Greek indie band - Smash Your Plates Say Yeah
Dutch rock band (inexplicably) big in the nineties - Counting Croquettes
Belgian alternative/folk punk band - Violent Flems
Arab rock from the 70s - The Dubai Brothers
Zimbabwean fascist post punk band - Mugazi
Militant Colombian hip hop - FARC da Police
Cheesy Indian folk group - Mumbai Ya

That's awesome, I especially like the Counting Croquettes. haha :D
I think that was your one, wasn't it?
Ha ha, this is so totally awesome! Love the last one most.
Augh... Mugazi is the worst.
I'm also trying to imagine Zimbabwean post-punk.

I snorted stuff out my nose at the Violent Flems.
...which isn't meant as a further pun. (word verification: copyr)
What about 'Flight of the Con-Corrs' Ireland's fourth most popular parody band, made up of unusually good-looking siblings?
That could work!
Belle and Uzbekistan... melodic Soviet alt-pop.
Kenya... African celtic music
Hutu... polyrhythmic post-punk pompousity
And these two bands cover all forms of music, really:
Jew2 and Goy Division.
"Kenya... African celtic music"
- that could be the best one yet!
Excellent suggestions.
Cyprus Hill - Stoned Greeks
Mali Cyrus - Teen Afro-pop.
Keep em coming.
The Finn Brothers?
Siouxsie and the Banshees?
Oh wait...
