About Me

THE EMBEZZLERS

Ska 'n' B

Easy now! We are approaching Ska Corner!

Attention! Hustlers, Sinners, Gangsters,
Rudies, Droogies, Vagabonds and Pranksters,
Baldheads, Natty Dreads, Artful Dodgers and Skanksters!
All aboard the train to Skaville!

The Embezzlers were formed in mid 2007 by guitarist Nigel and bass player Paul H. with the intention of creating a band that reflected their ska and RnB influences and Punk inspirations as their template. They previously played together in the Precious Stone Thieves and skanksters The Ambassadors.

Over the coming months further members Darren (Glory Days, Loopzilla), Paul G. (Go! And various soul outfits) Sancha (The Makeouts, The Feral) and Martin (various Liverpool/London based bands) were recruited.

Following intensive rehearsals playing covers of old favourites and ska and rocksteady versions of classic tunes The Embezzlers are out and about right now.

Music to shake the nation to the foundation!!!!……..
