The Rock Bottom Remainders

The Rock Bottom Remainders, also known as the Remainders, are an American rock charity supergroup consisting of popular published writers, most of them also amateur musicians. The band took its self-mocking name from the publishing term "remaindered book", a term for books that are no longer selling well and whose remaining unsold copies are liquidated by the publisher at greatly reduced prices. Their concerts have raised over $3 million for charity, particularly for literary and First Amendment-related causes.
