Brother was a short-lived rock trio from Winnipeg, Manitoba, best known for the fact that all three members later joined The Guess Who.
[2][3] Through the Winnipeg rock scene, the members of Brother were longtime acquaintances of The Guess Who, and the two bands often attended each other's gigs.
[5] Winter took some unrecorded Brother songs with him, including "Hand Me Down World" and "Bus Rider",[6] which appeared on the 1970 Guess Who album Share the Land.
[1] Brother ceased to exist after Winter's departure, with Wallace and Schmidt joining other Manitoba bands.
Schmidt, now known as Vance Masters, joined Burton Cummings's solo band in 1978 and in 1979 briefly participated in a different reunion line-up of The Guess Who, again led by Kale.
