Doing one band of brothers on another band of brothers' song is exquisite (Redd Kross covering Sparks). And I liked seeing the Candyskins, that was a band I quite enjoyed back in the day.

Balaam and the Angel - now that's a blast from the past!

Since I've gotten multiple suggestions for it over the years, I think my next show will include a block of "bogus brothers" -- starting with the Ramones, of course.

So many bands of "brothers" where they aren't actually related. Like the Pernice Brothers is basically Joe Pernice and whatever his band is; sometimes his brother Bob plays with him, but not always, but it's still always "Pernice Brothers."
