Del Webb Explosion was a seven-piece band cast in the mold of British soul revivalists Dexy's Midnight Runners. (They) were active in Adelaide for only 20 months from 1981–1983 with their first gig being played at the Union Hotel on 7 December 1981. A brass based pop band with strong British soul influences, the band was founded in Adelaide, South Australia, by Peter Flierl who had just returned from a trip to the UK with an incredibly strong impression having been left by the sounds of Dexys Midnight Runners and the very recently formed splinter group from that ensemble, The Bureau. The band's name was provided by early Del Webb guitarist, Gerry Barrett, and was named after American construction magnate and real estate developer, Delbert Eugene Webb. The 'Explosion' just seemed to follow.
