RATT To Play Special 'Fan Appreciation' Show In Los Angeles

July 26, 2010

What better way for a band to show its love for its fans than by playing a free show in their hometown? RATT, who earned their way into the Sunset Strip's legendary and historical rock pantheon with a parade of hook-filled anthems that went on to define the '80s, will play a free "Fan Appreciation" show at the Key Club in West Hollywood on Thursday, July 29.

That's right. We said "free." No gimmicks. No fine print. No tricks. The show is 100 percent free for fans anxious to Ratt 'n' Roll on a hot July night!

This free show is presented as part of the Sunset Strip Summer Concert Series and is being sponsored by BING. The show will be filmed for a forthcoming, feature-length documentary about the famed Sunset Strip, where some of the most culturally relevant bands of the past four decades were spawned. The documentary will also feature X representing the '70s; JANE'S ADDICTION representing the '90s; PUSSYCAT DOLLS representing the '00s; and, of course, RATT representing the '80s.

Tickets will be available here: www.therattpack.com/contests/lagiveaway, so get them now, because they are guaranteed not to last.

RATT was recently forced to cancel its European tour in order to allow vocalist Stephen Pearcy to undergo urgent hernia surgery. However, the RATT family is happy to report that Pearcy has made a full recovery and is glad to be back on the road.

"Infestation", the first studio record in 11 years from RATT, sold around 14,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 30 on the Billboard 200 chart. The CD was released on April 20 via Loud & Proud.

"Infestation" was produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette (CHEVELLE, ALTER BRIDGE) at his Virginia studio, marking the first time the band has recorded outside of Los Angeles. The album is full of attitude and of reflection, cycling through a range of emotions. There are party anthems that RATT are known for alongside more contemplative, thoughtful tunes.
