Sounds of Pomona :
THE VANDELLS
This is the original Vandells that started in the early 60's in South Pomona.
Pictured is Henry Banales, Johnny Carrosco, Richard Valenzuela, Randy Soto, Ernie Espinoza.
This band was started in the living room of my parent's house on 11th and Hamilton in Pomona and went on to do back yard parties jr highschool, highschool Pomona Fair Montebello Ball room, Kennedy Hall, Big Union little Union Hall,ELA college battle of band and many more events, and lasted about a decade but along the way the band name was changed to the Supremacy's and then later on to Shades of brown. During that time there was many band members that were added and some left to join other groups.
