The Tempo Bar Tapes -#2

Can I Change My Mind?



This is the second of a series of videos featuring The Explodo Boys, a Rock/Country/R&B band from Minneapolis, active from the mid 70s to the early 80s.

Recorded May 16, 1979 at the now-demolished Tempo Bar, live, no edits.

The lead vocal and lead guitar are by Rich Lewis. It was one of Rich’s signature tunes, inspired by Roy Buchanan’s treatment of the Tyrone Davis song.

Although Rich died in 2023, his group continues to perform in Minneapolis and Saint Paul concerts in the parks, as well as at the legendary Christmas revue at Whitey’s in NE Minneapolis.
