The first organized group was called "Funny Dunbells". The memberz were The Kimbles James, Andre, Carlos, Ingrid, and That man, known as their dad, James (junebug) Kimble Sr. (God Bless his soul forever) he played guitar to some Elvis tunes while they sang and recorded it just for fun.. the Funny Dumbells evolved into a new Era of "Nonsence Musiq."
Funny Dumbells (later changed to Funky Dundell) arose with andre on drums, James the oldest on guitar and Carlos the yougest of the boyz on keyboardz. Mack Wright second string Guitar, Stevie Byrd 3rd string lead, Earl Curry on bass guitar. The hit was " Make It Junkie" a remake of James Brown's "Make It Funky"."I remember carryin Instruments to back yard parties and different small venues" recalls Andre. Funky Dundell and the wicked style of James Kimble became twisted with the Funk and
"Aviator Funk" Took the Kimble Broz to a whole different level.. The music started to make sense.With Rick Williams on bass and Willis Stix on lead guitar. they were some of the badest guitar & bass players to have come along. the year was 1982. Rick Introduced the Kimble Broz to Mrs.Nadine who had raised a family of musicians, every one in the house knew how to play an instrument. Even the youngest girl played a flute. the Kimble brothers played with that family in front of a crowd at a Michigan Carnival.
