The beat goes on indeed!



Welcoming Charlotte


First up, we're excited to announce that we have a new singer joining our group! Please welcome Charlotte, a talented vocalist who infuses fresh energy and a unique style into our sound. Her passion for music promises to elevate our performances to new heights.


However, new beginnings often come with farewells. Our beloved drummer, Matt, who has been an integral part of our sound and spirit, is moving back to the West Coast at the end of this month. While we support him in this new chapter of his life, it’s truly difficult to imagine our group without him. His beats have powered our music like a mad metronome, inspiring countless memorable performances. We wish him all the best as he embarks on his journey!


Searching for a New Drummer


With our drummer leaving, we’re actively searching for a new percussionist to join our ranks. This process is daunting, as we want to find someone with not just the skills, but also the right vibe.


In the meantime, our gig schedule is somewhat uncertain. We are diligently working to secure new dates and venues. Your patience during this transition is immensely appreciated. Keep an eye out for updates, as we’re hopeful to line up some exciting shows soon!


A Personal Update


On a more personal note, I had a bit of an accident at home last week. Let’s just say that I ended up with some facial scrapes and a broken rib. Thankfully, the facial injuries are healing well (not that I started with a masterpiece)



Music Success


On a brighter note, our recorded songs are flourishing! We’ve seen a steady increase in Spotify streams. Radio stations in Italy, in particular, have taken a strong liking to our track “Outta My Head,” which has been featured on over eight stations nationwide. It’s a thrill to see our music reach listeners across the globe, and we are deeply thankful for your support.


The positive feedback fuels our passion and motivates us to keep creating. We are currently working on a new set with new songs and can’t wait to share it with you all.


See ya next month!

Well, I've been putting this off for a few days now. Time to get down to it. September doesn't have too much good news for the band.


First, let me get to the positive news. Three of our four recorded singles have recently been picked up by some really good playlists. The result is combined we have over 10K listens. That is amazing to me! Thank you to all our fans.


Now for the not fun news. Our lead singer and co-manager Dayann and the band have decided to part ways. I would like to thank her for all her tireless work on behalf of the band. Both her work ethic and vocal skills will be sorely missed. We all wish her well.


So, now the hunt is on for a new singer. Right now that is going to be our main focus. Gigs and further rrecording plans have all been put on hold.


Rest assured we will be back! Rats are very hard to get totally rid of.

Here we are fresh off a successful return gig at the Shillelagh Tavern. It was a blast. Nice turnout as well. Thanks to the guys at Shillelagh for having us. And to the bands, 86's, Brain Candy, Ava Lena who joined us on the bill.


We have at least one show coming up in August. On the 29th we are schrduled to plqy at Young Ethels. The venue has yet to be Rat-ified. Looking forward to playing out again.


Our foray into the recording and mixing world went extremely well. Much gratitude to Mick at Beneath the Sun Studios and Glenn from Wishcraft Music Studio. Both guys are masters at their craft and made the process easy and enjoyable.


We will be releasing 2 new singles mid month. Hope to see you at a Rat show soon!
