Dynamic Apollos was a garage rock band in South Bend during the mid 1960’s. They recorded two cuts at Bud Pressner Studios, but they were apparently not released. However, the recordings were preserved on the acetate pictured above, and made available on Bandcamp. According to one band family member, the Dynamic Apollos toured Europe, playing at the Star Club in Hamburg, where the Beatles first played. | |
