RatcatRATCAT - A short biography Although rare occurrence to catch this ground breaking Australian act performing live, RATCAT remain permanently placed in the indie hall of fame for dragging Australian music culture out of a stagnant pub rock 80’s phase and bringing alternate pop/punk guitar rock to the masses during the late 80’s / early 1990’s. Being at the forefront of an international musical change of direction which witnessed the boundaries between the independent & commercial sectors literally smashed to oblivion, RATCAT’s incredible rise to popularity was the result of public demand and with virtually no mass marketing (at the time). Ratcat released the ground breaking ‘Tingles’ EP in 1990 (after a spate of independent releases via the Waterfront Label) which - & with no fanfare whatsoever - made a steady climb to the top of the National Top Forty after 7 months ‘Tingles’ thereafter scored the accolade of becoming the highest selling EP of that year. Featuring the ‘sleeper’ hit ‘That Ain’t Bad’, it did herald the beginning of a new musical era that would resonate worldwide not but 14 months later courtesy of a Seattle based 3 piece known as Nirvana & their ground breaking album, ‘Nevermind’. The subsequent release of the ‘Blind Love’ album resulted in yet another number 1 chart result & again to the complete surprise of the band members and all involved at the time, Ratcat also scored a coinciding duel number one with the single ‘Don’t Go Now’ (aria singles charts). -
