B i o g r a p h y

 It all started with a vision. Mack Sams , Ernie Rio and Eric Hunter wanted to start a band. That vsion came to fruition with the addition of  Tim Laurence and Steve Giocondo with Dan Moss. Special Shout goes to Brian Millar  who later spent five years with us on our funky journey. Also mega shout to original members Mack Sams and Ernie Rio, For without them there would be no US We  play the kind of music that will get people up and dancing! With disco, funk, r&b and a little bit of rock we PROMISE that if you come to see us you will definitely have yourself a good time... you will be telling everyone you know about THE X'PLOZIONZ!
