The band Geronimo Jackson has been referenced many times in LOST. A full list of the references can be found here at the Geronimo Jackson Lostpedia page. Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse seemed to suggest that the band was real. "They're a band not a lot of people have heard about. They just released one very obscure album in the mid to late '70s".
The ABC TV Store website recently released a line of Geronimo Jackson themed merchandise. In the description for one of the items, the following summary is given on the history of the band:
Keith Strutter formed the rock band Geronimo Jackson in the mid 60s in Detroit. Gathering a solid reputation for their sold-out string of performances in local burlesque clubs, the band packed up their gear and made way to the Excelsior District of San Francisco. From there they released their first album “Magna Carta,” receiving much acclaim and star status to locals in the industry. Reported to be making their long awaited follow-up album, the band retired to Woodstock in 1972, never to be seen or heard again.
The song is an alternate version of "Excelsior Lady" by a current band called "The Donkeys." It has been theorized by fans that the band would be playing as "Geronimo Jackson" in LOST since this is the same song playing in Jin's DHARMA van in the episode "316" right before he finds Jack, Kate and Hurley by the waterfall lagoon.
