| Peppi Marchello |
|
| Lead Vocals |
Peppi Marchello is the defenitley one of the most amazingly talented people you will ever meet. He's the original lead
singer of the Rats, and has been in the music game since the 60's. And no jokes, people; at 58, he sings as incredibly as
he did when he was 25. His classic stage antics, including the infamous baseball bat, are a big part of what makes a Good
Rats show one of the best shows you will EVER see! But don't be fooled! He might sing songs like "Mean Motherfucker", but
he's one of the nicest guys you will ever encounter! Just don't walk in front of the stage during "Songwriter".......
| Stefan Marchello |
|
| drums, background vocals |
Stef might look all cute and innocent, but don't let looks decieve you! His drum playing is so intense, he mangles at
least 2 drum sticks per show! Take a look at them at the end of the night---splinters! Whenever the demand gets too intense,
he'll get up in the spotlight to sing us a few songs while playing the guitar. His rendition of "Completley Miserable" by
Lit is especially good! He's also making his own music nowadays, so keep listening! Maybe we'll hear some of his stuff
soon!

| Dan the Man Smiraglia |
|
| keyboards and merchandise |
Dan the Man is a one-of-a-kind type of guy. His keyboard parts fill in the songs perfectly, and he sells t-shirts and
cd's like there's no tomorrow! if you're out at the shows, you may even get to see him act out "Papa Poppa" with me and Missy,
or just watch him dance like a madman and play air guitar when he's not onstage! Either way, he's a great musician, and an
outstanding guy. His other band, Scarlet Fire, is a Dead cover band, playing in Connecticut. E-mail me if you'd like more
details on that!

| Gene Marchello |
|
| Lead guitar, vocals |
He's been the subject of a few of Peppi's songs, and now he plays them like no one else can! Gene's amazing guitar
work is the backbone of the Rats music, and it is consistantly incredible! He fronted his own band, " Marchello", in the late 80's. Their video for the single "First Love" hit #7 on MTV, and was the first video to be filmed in the
MTV studios! From time to time, Gene will step up to the mic solo and treat us to some of his own tunes, such
as "Park & Ride", "Monster Girlfriend", and "Summer Lust". And every once in a blue moon, we convince him to get behind
the drums and play a few songs while Stefan sings and plays guitar. If you watch him, you'll notice that while he's playing
drums, he looks a hell of alot like Animal from the Muppet Show....he he he! And watch the faces while he's on guitar.........
