Brothers (and Sisters) In Rock

Recommended Posts

Talent often runs in the family. Siblings occasionally form bands together or form separate bands, sometimes successfully. Other times not so successfully.

Take brothers Rudolph and Michael Schenker. Originally playing together in the band The Scorpions, Michael soon left to form his own band, U.F.O. Both bands were (and still are) highly successful.

Or consider Ron West of the rock group Missouri and his brother Gary of the group Shooting Star. Missouri is probably best known for their hit song "Movin' On" released back in 1977. It is still played on classic rock stations today. Shooting Star had a number of outstanding songs back in the mid-70's including "Last Chance", "Tonight", and "Bring it On".

And of course there is Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart. Once considered (and still considered by many) to be the hardest rocking ladies in the music biz, the Wilson sisters are known for such hits as Barracuda, Crazy On You, Magic Man, Straight On, and many others.

How many musical siblings do you know of?

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
