Pamela Lansbury is a cover band that was formed in the fourth episode of Season Five, A Katy or A Gaga. Founded by Kurt Hummel, the band's name is a combination of the names of Pamela Anderson and Angela Lansbury, alluding to the "raw sex appeal" of the former and the "quiet dignity" of the latter. The band originally consisted of Kurt, Santana Lopez, and Dani. Elliot Gilbert would later join after Kurt decides to offer him a spot on the band following his rejection at his audition. Rachel Berry would become the band's fifth and final member after she comes up with the band's name.

In Trio, the band was dissolved into a singing trio, One Three Hill as a result of a continuing feud between Santana and Rachel
