Sean Delaney (musician) - Skatt Bros.

Skatt Bros.

After releasing the solo album, Delaney formed a band in 1979 called Skatt Bros. The band was composed of Sean Delaney on keyboards, Pieter Sweval on bass (member of Starz), Richard Martin-Ross on guitar, David Andez on guitar, Richie Fontana on Drums and Guitar and Craig Krampf on drums. This lineup underwent a slight alteration shortly after forming in which Krampf and Andez left, and guitarist Danny Brant joined. Delaney had known Fontana from when he had produced the band Piper, who had opened for KISS on the 1977 Love Gun tour.

The band released two albums: Strange Spirits (Casablanca, 1979) and Rico And The Ravens (Mercury, 1981). The second album was only released in Australia, on the strength of the band's popularity there. In support of the first album a hilarious Village People inspired video for "Life At The Outpost" was filmed. The band also released a "sledgehammer version" cover of Elvis' "Don't Be Cruel" (Casablanca NB-2258), backed with "Dancin' For the Man," as a single before disbanding in 1981.
