The Machismo Brothers

One of the other musical groups managed by the Rutles' manager Leggy Mountbatten in the sixties, according to the 1978 documentary, All You Need is Cash. They all have matching plaid jackets. The image used for the group is of The Razor Blade Four, an equally fictional barbershop group from an episode of Eric Idle's BBC show Rutland Weekend Television.

On the original Rutles LP sleeve, the same photo of the band shown in the film is part of a gallery of LPs "available now" on Rutle records. It is shown with the caption "Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Gifted and Black". It is unclear whether this is the name of an album by The Machismo Brothers, or a different fake band using the same photo.
