Actually Booray, Randy Bachman was the only brother that was "original" in the band. His brother Rob sat in and played drums at one point in a watered down version of The Guess Who.
All three Bachman brothers played in BTO at one time or another.

As far as the Vaughan Brothers go, they did play in a band together and made an album together (Family Style) just before Stevie's death.
The following excerpts are from Jimmy Vaughan's website.
In 1969, Vaughan helped found Texas Storm, a group that eschewed Top 40 covers for blues and soul with a Texas accent. The band eventually migrated to Austin, where they won over the college crowd and the Black and Chicano communities on the Capital City's East Side. Vaughan also helped jump start his brother Stevie's career when the younger Vaughan joined
Texas Storm on bass.
Fabulous Thunderbirds brought the blues back into the pop charts and the
contemporary musical lexicon, sparking a blues revival that continues
unabated today. Prior to leaving the group in 1990, Jimmie had joined up
with his brother Stevie to record Family Style, an album that reflected
their mutually deep musical roots and maturing modern artistic
sophistication.
Then in August, 1990, just a few weeks prior to the album's
release, Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a helicopter crash in Wisconsin. The
tragedy devastated Jimmie, who retreated from touring and recording, though
he continued to play guitar every day, as he has throughout his life.
Meanwhile, the success of Family Style further enhanced Jimmie's reputation
as a distinctive musical stylist.
