THE EXPLOSIVES
The Explosives were one of the most popular bands on the Austin, TX new wave scene in the late '70s and early '80s, playing a high-energy mixture of power pop, roots rock, and rockabilly. The Explosives featured Cam King on guitar, Waller Collie on bass, and Freddie "Steady" Krc on drums, all of whom were seasoned veterans of the Texas music scene: Krc had performed on the road and in the studio with B.W. Stevenson and Jerry Jeff Walker; King was a member of the band Joker Moon and wrote the song "Circuit Queen," which appeared on Marcia Ball's first album (and in the movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre); and Collie became friends with Krc when they were both touring the country circuit in the 1970s. In the summer of 1979, excited by the new pop-oriented sounds that were making themselves heard around Austin, Krc formed the Explosives with King and Collie (a fan of vintage clothing, he took the name from a bowling shirt he'd found) and, wasting no time, they released their first 7" EP featuring four original songs in August of that year.
In 1979, Roky Erickson, legendary singer with the 13th Floor Elevators, returned to Austin after a long sojourn in San Francisco, and when he began playing live shows again, the Explosives were recruited to back him up....(AllMusic)
