The Lemon Twigs are set to make a stop in the Twin Cities for a show at the Fine Line ahead of the release of their new album, Look For Your Mind! The band is the project of brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario, and it really got us thinking about how many bands are created by siblings.

From The Current: The Gig List for May 1: Iron & Wine; The Lemon Twigs; Canaan Cox

It seems like it would be beneficial to have a built-in bandmate, and family musicians have been teaming up for generations. Let’s create a family tree made of song!

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs by bands with siblings in them would you like to hear?
