Sibling bandmates
 

I'm currently listening to some Orbital and I got to thinking that it's kind of neat when siblings get along creatively and make music. No special reason, but I thought it would be interesting to see just how many bands are made up of or include siblings. I'll start with a few I can think of.

Orbital - electronic duo consisting of Phil and Paul Hartnoll
The Knife - electro pop duo consisting of Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer
Stone Temple Pilots - rock band featuring brothers Dean and Robert DeLeo on guitar and bass
mewithoutYou - rock band featuring brothers Aaron and Michael Weiss on vocals and guitar
Oasis - annoying britpop band featuring brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher

...that's it off the top of my head.

off the top of my head...

Jesus and Mary Chain - Reid brothers, their first names escape me but they were the songwriting core.
Kings of Leon - Followill (sp?) siblings & cousin
Screaming Trees - The Mark Lanegan-fronted group had the Conner brothers behind it, who actually wrote the bulk of the music. i think one went on to fill in for bass in DJR sometime later
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Yep, John Fogerty had siblings in the band. None of which are worth remembering.
The Fiery Furnaces - Crazy ****ers Friedberger.
The Jackson Five - lol

Smoosh - American indie pop band from Seattle, Washington. They have released two albums, She Like Electric and Free to Stay. Both albums were written and performed by singer/keyboardist Asya (preferred name Asy, born February 2, 1992) and her sister, drummer Chloe (born March 5, 1994). Their younger sister Maia (born September 5, 1996) joined the band in early 2007. (wikipedia)

Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell from Pantera was the 1st to pop into my head.

Lookin through my cd's...
Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein and Jerry Only from the original Misfits line-up.

Sara and Sean Watkins play fiddle and guitar for the bluegrass band Nickle Creek.

Hmm...that's all I've got atm aside from the obvious ones. There's gotta be more. Gonna wiki a bunch of these bands :P

The Cowsills- I'm sorry I had to mention them....

Oh and well there's Tegan and Sara - indie rock band, identical twins

Can't believe I didn't think of Pantera. And I didn't know that about the Misfits.

Hmm... the one that first comes to mind is The Proclaimers.



And I fucking hate the Proclaimers.

KMD - Rap band, with brothers Zev Love X (aka MF DOOM!!!) and DJ Subroc, this band was the ****... too bad for Sub :(
School of Seven Bells - New dream pop band with Alejandra and Claudia Deheza, 2 identical twins

Those are the first two that came to mind. Both of those bands kick ass.

Those chicks are hot. I didn't know they were sisters, though they do look alike I could definitely see a difference. I saw them open for Prefuse 73 last year. Looking at some pics now, and it seems obvious.
