Rudolf Schenker’s younger brother Michael Schenker was a member of a British hard rock band called UFO during their most successful period in the mid-1970’s. The band was named after the famed UFO Club (pronounced “you foe” or “oo foe”) in London that had been the epicenter for British psychedelic and underground rock in the 1960’s. Michael had periodically performed with his brother’s band Scorpions and formed the Michael Schenker Group in 1979; this band also is active to this day.
