Nelson
The twin sons of early rock ‘n’ roll star Rick Nelson and wife Kris, Matthew and Gunnar Nelson were born on 20 September 1967, Los Angeles, California, USA. Musically-inclined as children, the boys learned to play bass and drums and sang. Their father booked recording studio time for them for their 12th birthday, and they recorded a self-penned song with vocal backings by the Pointer Sisters. By the early '80s the twins had joined a heavy metal band called Strange Agents, which later changed its name to the Nelsons. In 1990, now simply called Nelson, the twins, both sporting waist-length blond hair, signed with David Geffen's new DGC record label and recorded a self-titled pop-rock album. The first single release, (Can't Live Without Your) Love And Affection, reached number 1 in the US charts, while the album made the US Top 20.
