Who are The Rats?

Lol yeah it's definitely not the Boomtown Rats, some of them are playing a crappy festival near me that weekend. http://www.uptonfestival.co.uk/

Id be quite happy if it was Gallows, saw them at reading from near the outside of the tent and they looked really good, will try and get nearer the front this time!

On 01/08/09 "The Rats" will be playing Borderline with Thrash Talk & Alleyway Crew.

Erm...today's date is 08/07 and the gig is 01/08 so they haven't played yet.

Apart from speculation this is the only clue as to how the Rats are.

Erm...when you first wrote it, you put 01/08/09, so I assumed you meant August 1st last year.

Just thought I'd point out the obvious and apparently it was Gallows playing at that gig in London under the alias of The Rats

So it was a fairly shit secret

Considering the band confirmed that it was them playing a secret set

Guys,

Been reading this with interest more than giving a hell who "The Rats" are.

But one thing i have noticed is on the iphone app and the official site lineup, there seems to be a difference in this days lineup.

On the Iphone app "The Rats" do not show on the lineup list at all for the lock up on the saturday, but in the place where they are on the official site lineup is "RX Bandits".

I cannot seem to see "RX Bandits" on the lock up stage on the official site for the saturday.

Every other band in that lineup for the day on the lock up matches so i will throw another spanner the viewpoint.

"RX Bandits" could be a replacement for "The Rats"??? or it is another name for "RX Bandits"???

I don't really know much about either band, so dont shoot the messanger.

fair enough, only commenting, dont really care as Gallows are not my taste in music, will be plenty of other bands to see.
