I think it was a fictional band. *nt* My guess, either these are just names off some band who had an album called Stillwater, and they just sound similar. Looking at Cdnow.com, I don't see any Stillwater besides the AF sountrack. Or they released a bunch of Stillwater songs online somewhere. www.viewaskew.com /newboard/messages262/75.html

READ IT OR NOT: The Legendary Red Dog--A Book of Tails The fictional band Stillwater from last year's hit movie Almost Famous was supposedly based in part on the real-life Allman Brothers Band of the early '70s. Red Dog recounts his and the band's incessant drug abuse, brushes with the law, communal lifestyle, and sexual adventures with women of all shapes and sizes. The book gives a good taste of the band's lifestyle but offers disappointingly little on the deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, both of which occurred during the period covered. onstagemag.com /ar/performance_read_not_legendary

Welcome to the Best of New Orleans! Film Reviews 09 11 01 And the music, conceived by Budd Carr, feels frighteningly authentic, even more so than Almost Famous' fictional band Stillwater. Steel Dragon lead singer Bobby Beers (Jason Flemyng) is getting kicked out of his band, too, and through some groupies the rest of the band has learned of Chris' dead-on impression. The hilarious scene between Chris' band (Blood Pollution) and the other Steel Dragon tribute (Black Dragon) band is like the Jets and the Sharks meeting at an MTV video shoot. www.bestofneworleans.com /dispatch/2001-09-11/film_review2.html   (856 words)

Almost Famous (2000): Billy Crudup, Frances McDormand, Kate Hudson, Jason Lee - PopMatters Film Review One is the near-famousness of Almost Famous's mostly fictional sludge-metal band "Stillwater," who in 1973 opens 50,000-seat coliseums for then-giants Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Stillwater plays before throngs of adoring fans, but the crowd, by and large, has come to see someone else.

TNMC Movies: Reviews: Almost Famous Almost Famous is Crowe's semi-autobiographical story of a 15 year old William Miller, who gets commissioned by Rolling Stone to follow around and write an article about rising (fictional) band Stillwater.

Eye - Almost Famous - 09.14 When the folks on the tour bus sing along to "Tiny Dancer," it's a glorious moment of communion between the song, the viewers and the characters -- who include the members of the fictional rock band Stillwater, the girls who love them and the teenage Rolling Stone reporter who loves them, too. BY Elton John's 1971 hit "Tiny Dancer" -- that's the one that goes, "Hold me closer, tiny dancer" -- entered the realm of kitsch a long time ago. "Tiny Dancer" becomes the most tragic, most beautiful thing in the whole world, no doubt causing great regret among a generation of people who sold off LPs of Elton's Madman Across the Water for 50 cents at garage sales. www.eye.net /eye/issue/issue_09.14.00/film/almostfamous.html   (634 words)

Boston.com / A&E / Music / Songwriter makes himself mysterious Kozelek, recognizable by some from his role in the movie "Almost Famous" as a member of fictional band Stillwater, hasn't released an album of original material with Red House Painters or a solo disc since 2001. Recorded piecemeal in 2002 and 2003 with Red House Painters drummer Anthony Koutsos along with members of San Francisco legends American Music Club, "Ghosts of the Great Highway" is as subtle and delicate as it is visceral and rocking. The 37-year-old singer-songwriter many know from the seminal, beautifully downcast Red House Painters or from his equally melancholy new moniker, Sun Kil Moon, is just beginning to feel up to speed again after canceling three shows. www.boston.com /ae/music/articles/2004/02/01/songwriter_makes_himself_mysterious   (690 words)

Pitchfork: Daily Music News Well, Kozelek played the bassist in that movie's fictional band, Stillwater, and several of his songs have appeared on Crowe soundtracks. Usually, if you're going to do an album of covers, they're going to be standards-- Elvis, the Beatles, Sinatra, etc. Besides, it's not too often that someone releases an album comprised entirely of songs written by another artist, let alone an artist that has been music for less time than you have. You'd think all this covering was a case of lazy songwriting, but Kozelek completely rearranges the songs, often leaving the lyrics as the only recognizable trace. www.pitchforkmedia.com /news/05-09/07.shtml   (2980 words)
