BANGS
Marianna Florida


The band was preceded by a much more popular band from Marianna, Florida named the Dynamics. [note - Yes, the same name as the band on your list that hailed from Oakland Park, Florida. At the time, there were several other bands named the Dynamics.] The members of the Dynamics who went on to play under the band name the "Bangs" were Terry Sirmans (drummer), Jim Irwin (bass player), Carey Strickland (lead guitar), and George Boyer (sax and guitar). The Dynamics had been a very popular band when they had lost their lead vocalist, Al Taylor. Al had been the talent and the big draw for the Dynamics; and once he left, the band's popularity diminished to a point where the band was not able to keep the Dynamic's usual bookings. Club managers and promoters soon discovered the crowds would not show up, or leave as soon as they realized Al was no longer performing with the band.
As a last ditch effort to move on, the band members chose to rename the band The Bangs, and to record the record shown on your site at their own expense. Neither the name change, nor the record made any significant difference; and, the Bangs came to the realization that they would not be able to regain their past popularity as the Dynamics and eventually disbanded.
