Hello all,

I have been recently given an opportunity to carry the torch of a legendary group. The Skull Snaps a 70's "funk" band a.k.a the diplomats are looking to carry on the legacy. They want the 2nd generation. I am looking for top notch musicians to fit the bill. There is a huge fan base overseas that we are tapped into already as the skull snaps. I am looking for 2 keyboard players, bass player and guitar player. Possibly horns for the recordings. If this is something that you are interested in please contact me. If you wanna know more about the Skull snaps you can Google them. This is not a scam or is it a robot sending out emails. This is a great chance for hungry musicians

Thanks,
JR

Per Wiki:
Skull Snaps was a funk group that released one eponymous album on the small GSF label in 1973 before disappearing.[2] It was, in fact, the group originally known as the Diplomats, which released numerous singles between 1963 and 1970 with some success.

The Skull Snaps' album contains drum breaks that have been sampled numerous times on various hip hop records: The familiar opening drum pattern of It's A New Day can be heard in songs by well-known acts such as Ol' Dirty Bastard, Das EFX, Eric B. & Rakim, Digable Planets, DJ Shadow, Rob Dougan, Black Moon, Guru and The Prodigy.


I guess that's the only possible reason there would be any fan base now - from the hip-hoppers' sampling.
