How would you like to help us to play right down the street from your house (meaning you can walk to the gig, and stumble home)?

Cut and paste the letter below into Word, print it out, and drop it off at your local bar. - Thanks!

Lots of great artists like Billy Joel, The Ramones, Blue Oyster Cult, Pat Benetar and The Good Rats have come from Long Island. Now these great music innovators are being honored by the Long Island Music Hall of Fame as their first class of inductees.

Unlike most of the other artists being inducted, The Good Rats still perform 100 or so shows a year, in large venues like arenas, theaters and festivals, as well as smaller venues like bars and clubs. The Good Rats would like to play at your venue.

Along with 60 published original songs from their 10 studio albums, the band also has about 60 cover songs in their repertoire from the best rock of the 1960’s to the current time. A partial list of The Good Rats cover songs is provided for you on the next page.

The Good Rats have performed at Madison Square Garden, the Philadelphia Spectrum, the Nassau
Coliseum, the Hammersmith Odeon in England, and New York's Central Park. They have also played most of the major showcase rooms in the country including the Bottom Line, Paradise in Boston, Whisky in L.A.,
well... you get the point!

The Rats have headlined and opened up for such groups as Rush, Aerosmith, Meatloaf, Ozzy, Grateful Dead, Kiss, Journey, Heart, Springsteen, Styx and many others.

The Good Rats have released 10 albums (most radio stations should have 'em) and have 8 CD's that are currently available. Their album "Tasty Seconds" has been getting great reviews here and overseas and their latest album, "Play Dum" is especially for their fans who love their heavier side!

The line up includes Peppi Marchello, Gene Marchello, Stefan Marchello, Mike Haupt and Dan Smiraglia.

If you want to know more about The Good Rats, do a google search of the internet (lots of info there).

If you’re interested in having The Good Rats play at your venue and would like to hear the band, then we will be happy to provide you with a DVD of their party song “Let’s Have Another Beer”, along with a demo CD of cover songs performed live and some original studio songs. We will also supply you with posters. If you put up the posters where your customers will see them, you should get some feedback.

Thanks for your consideration.
