fun fact, Moby got to play his 1st big nyc debut, because they needed an opening act for SNAP!
SNAP!'s plane was delayed, so they asked Moby to play as the headliner, and voila, from DJ in crap clubs to live in one lucky break. course he had played in a couple "shitty" by his recollection bands in high school and his mom made him take piano lessons, and he was working on making demos and trying to put an album together.

as Edna Mode says, "Fortune favors the prepared, dahling...."

So yeah, maybe no SNAP! no moby or at least it would have taken longer to get noticed..Though the concert didn't really do much for his career other than give him confidence he could pull off a big show..

SNAP! i've got all their records, (both of them)

catchy tune though.....

 

i may have slightly misquoted, Edna..

 

I have a funny story about SNAP!...

Between '94-95 I used to work for a gym in Orlando making cold calls gifting free membership trials. One of the calls I made was to Turbo B and I didnt even know it until he showed up at the gym. Fast forward a few weeks later, I was hanging out with some friends watching a couple of punk bands at a bar downtown and noticed a guy wearing purple dreadlocks moshing and just wrecking fools. I recognized Turbo B immediately and ran to say hello and almost got clotheslined by him before he recognized me. We both laughed about it but holyshit was that a close call lol
