Not only does Save Ferris have a song on the soundtrack ("I Know"), but Save Ferris is the band that plays at the prom in the the film. They perform their song, "I Know", and they back up Letters to Cleo's Kay Hanley as well for the Letters to Cleo cover of Nick Lowe's "Cruel to be Kind" which is also on the soundtrack.
