The Real Love Diplomats, formed
in mid 1999, are a musical group that has been skillful in their ability to
defy classification. The combination of keyboards, guitars, and dramatic vocal
performances seem to have slightly befuddled those who require categorization
in order to enjoy music .The Diplomats say they're a rock band, simple enough.
The band has a broad catalog of songs, and have finally released a studio
EP, ambitiously titled "For the Good of the Many". The 7-track CD has received
favorable reviews in local music magazines; Hinge, In Theory, Connections,
and Performing Artist, all of which echoed the hard-to-categorize statement.
The increase in show attendance seems to be a worthy display of the CD gaining
momentum and the song Ded Morotz (Track 4) is currently in rotation at Real
Radio 104.1 WTKS. Along with numerous other establishments & functions, The
Diplomats have played such notable places as the House of Blues, Hard Rock
Live, and the Social. They have played the Royalty Theatre in Clearwater,
FL, the Deland Art Festival, and a radio event in Cocoa Beach to generate
exposure outside of Orlando. The band consists of five members, a quintet
if you will, listed as follows; Michael Wagganer (Vocals), Jason Plourde (Guitar),
Jeff Estock (Drums) and John Galt (Bass & Keyboards).
