MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP
 
 
The Michael Schenker Group  is a guitar-oriented hard rock band formed in 1979 by former Scorpions and UFO guitarist, Michael Schenker.  In 1986, Schenker and vocalist Robin McAuley formed the McAuley Schenker Group, which lasted until 1993.  After that, in 1996 the Michael Schenker Group was reformed.  The music is best described as mostly melodic hard rock with progressive undertones.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
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.
