Maybe you haven't heard of them....yet. This page is all about the shows I attend and the adventures that follow. If you've heard the Good Rats, you know that they have a very individual and different sound than anything else in the world. The Good Rats are Peppi Marchello joined by sons Gene (guitar/vocals) and Stefan (drums/vocals. I've seen this band play numerous times in four different states, and their live performances are awesome! Peppi still plays air guitar with that baseball bat and the garbage can is still there, so elements from the original Rats do still exist. Gene Marchello plays with a passion, Stefan Marchello plays hot and heavy on those drums...I'm tellin' ya, it's MORE than worth the $10 cover charge to go see them play for two hours. Oh, and I want to add that there has never been a more gracious band than the Good Rats...they signed a few CDs for me and for my family (go order CDs from the Good Rats right now-- see below or go to the goodrats.com site for details).

11/24/04: I'M BAAAACK! It's been over a year since my last update. Sorry 'bout that...major life changes and all. I'm back up in Roch, and getting divorced. It's a good thing! The bad thing is, I think I'll be missing the Rats show on New Year's. I promised some friends we'd party with them instead. We'll see how it goes, I hate to miss shows, you all know that! I got the new Zone CD today, and it honestly rocks socks, guys. Buy it, support Gene's music! New dates are listed below for the rest of this year. Maybe I'll see you guys at a show soon. Hopefully Missy gets back from the ocean soon so she and I can live it up! Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to you all, and see y'all at a show somewhere! Rat on!
