Yes, Virtual Live Band does that now. They use NinJam to synchronize the different players. Go to one of their shows and you'll find they're happy to talk about it. There are other SL bands but that's the only one that's really live as in all the musicians in SL and playing with each other at the same time.

Uh, no. I can think of three, one being What The...?, the real life Atlanta-based band who performs pretty often in SL, with all three members being in world at the same time. Forum member Leyah Renegade is the guitarist. You should check them out Silas... they're a great rock band.

No, they're together in the same room, unlike VLB. Silas had said VLB was "the only one that's really live as in all the musicians in SL and playing with each other at the same time", which is deinitely true of What the...? as well. 
Point being, yeah, you can have bands in SL. Doing it remotely takes quite a bit of coordination, so like Silas says, I'd talk to one of the VLB folks on that matter.

Yes, I think it's becoming much more common for multiple musicians to stream together into SL from a single location. It's the multiple locations that sets VLB apart.

I'm not clear as at one point it seems like What the ? is playing in the same room and in another comment it sounds like they're not. Anyway, Ninjam is the tool they use and it's freeing insofar as the players can be in different locations but restrictive in that there can't be any tempo changes, etc.

Yes, they are playing in the same room. All of them have their own SL accounts and avatars running off separate computers, and then they stream a stereo mix of the entire band as they play live.
