Ratcat

Band, 1986-1998 AU
Rock

Ratcat are an Australian indie rock band formed in Sydney in 1985, fronted by vocalist and guitarist Simon Day. Their combination of indie pop songwriting and energetic punk-style guitar won them fans from both the indie and skate-punk communities. Their popularity peaked in 1991, finding mainstream success with their album Blind Love and the single Don't Go Now, which both reached #1 on the Australian charts that year. The band released two subsequent albums, however they never matched the popularity and success of 1991. The band ceased regular live shows in the mid 1990s, however they have continued to play sporadic shows since that time, with Day as the only continuing original member. The band will be playing as part of the 'A Day On The Green' concert series in March 2016.
