Thought this one would be easy, it looks fairly straightforward, but I can't solve it!
Working off the basis that New Orleans must be NO in the middle of the band name somewhere, I've tried prefixing it with Young, Junior, Kid, Boy, Girl, Child etc......or juvenile as in puerile, stupid, etc......but nothing's coming!
Was also assuming 'mad' is an anagram indicator and 'chocolates' or more likely a synonym of chocolates, eg: mars, chocs etc the fodder........

Hit a boundary and score a run, and be not out
Four Tops
not Four Jacks and a Jill though...

An easy one
Columbo is followed by Dastardly and Muttley's nemesis
Pigeon Detectives?

Creole = from new orleans
and the
Coco = chocolate
Nuts = mad
Kid Creole & The Coconuts was right by the way
Pigeon detectives is not correct - but you are on the right lines .
Can't believe I thought of Kid but not Creole & The Coconuts earlier
