(scroll down below the announcements for the full show calendar)

IT'S OFFICIAL -

In Nassau County - The Roadhouse in Bethpage
In Suffolk County - Charactor's in West Babylon
And in Hudson County – Stadium Bar and Grill in Secaucus

… are the official Home of The Rats in those areas

We play these clubs on a monthly basis. We do advise you to always check our website before coming to shows.

A true die-hard Rat fan should be willing to travel at least 20 to 30 miles or minutes to one of these clubs.

If you are a true die-hard Rat Fan and a lazy bastard, then find us a location/bar near your home or even in your home so you can get your Rat fix. (e-mail info to goodrats@goodrats.com)

By the way, we have a few Ratstock shirts left...
You can buy them, or any other merchandise, at an upcoming gig.


ANOTHER CHANCE to see THE GOOD RATS
with JOHN “THE CAT” GATTO !!

John the Cat will be playing with us at Charactors in West Babylon, NY on Nov. 11th.
Show starts at 9 p.m. We definitely recommend you obtain advance tickets as the club could sell out prior to the date, and also so you can save money.
Advance tickets are $20
Tickets at the door (if available) $25

To order advance tickets, send $20 per ticket to:
Uncle Rat Music
PO Box 585
St James NY 11780

For our upstate NY fans, we'll be returning to Rochester at Stooges and The Jukebox. Of course, our regular club shows, listed on our website, are always 2 1/2 to 3 hours long, and we hope to see you and your friends there as well as at our special events.

As usual, we ask you to tell us about good places to play in your area. Get us the name of the club, phone # and person to contact. You guys never fail in this department. Thanks.

We also are looking to play a few Christmas/Holiday parties. So if you own a company or have some say at the company where you work, or even if you are just a festive person who wants to throw a Xmas party, let us know at goodrats@goodrats.com. We aew available all Sundays through Thursdays in December, and also Fri. Dec. 22nd and Sat. Dec. 23rd.

We have found some cool bars to play at in the Suffolk County, Long Island area, so for those of you who say"You guys are always in Jersey or Nassau or CT., when are you coming to Suffolk?", we will be in Suffolk, I hope to see you all.

Last, we are adding more songs to our repertoire, including old Rats originals pre-1995, and newer Rats originals post-1995 (Tasty Seconds, Let's Have Another Beer and Play Dum CD's), plus more Gene Marchello and Stefan Marchello originals, along with some great classic and current cover songs. We are not lying down on the job. We want to keep you, our loyal fans, happy and anxious to see the live shows. We are also eager to build up a new Good Rat fan base, that's why we mix cover songs in with our originals at some venues.

Thanks for your continued support!
Peppi Marchello
