The Explosive Dynamiks

The Explosive Dynamiks got together and started playing during the 1963/64 school year, in Huntington, WV, USA. They gained some notariety locally by playing the typical prom circuit, special occassions and clubs, gradually working their way up to some larger cities like Lexington, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. One exciting time for them was being invited to play their new release on a television show based in Cleveland called, "UPBEAT". That particular show was headlined by James Brown, and included Bobby Goldsboro and other up and coming stars. Members were : Wayne Brown - Bass guitar, Larry Sumpter - Lead guitar, Mike Thomas - Lead singer, Rick David - Drums, Lindsey Blair - Singer, Lorenzo Bates - Singer, Charles "Tyke" Stover - Keyboards.
