What rock band made an appearance on The Munsters tv sitcom?

Hint: There used to be an amplifier company with the same name, but singular.

What did Tony Valentino(of the standells) do in the 80s that wasn't musical, but was directly related to a scene of music? (I might be wrong on the last name, but he was definitely in the Standells.)
