Good Rats
Belmont Park, Elmont, N.Y.
Aug 23rd 1980 FM

How good is this?
I am a relatively new fan of this band.
Why did nobody tell me about them?
From Long Island NY.
...think Blue Öyster Cult/Ramones/Patti Smith/Dictators etc.
Peppi Marchello is like Eric Bloom, Bon Scott or Dick Manitoba.
Brother Mickey is a guitar hero and Joe Franco is an amazing drummer.
Shit why did nobody tell me about them?
If you don't DL this the only acceptable reason is "I already have it"
And...mega plus point for me is that
Flo & Eddie turn up for the encore of Turties songs.
Which reminds me...
This is well worth seeing if you haven't already:

Flo & Eddie explain their experiences with artist management.

  1. I suppose there's lots of tales of the like Flo & Eddie's told.
    The Good Rats was available worldwide on October 2019 in a renowned site:
