Ratt Poison
Ratt Poison is the nations only glam rock tribute band to capture the look, sound and attitude of the hard rocking 80s. Ratt Poison pay homage to the decade of decadence when guitars went to 11, rock stars were heroes and hair bands made the world go round 'n' round. A time when music was all about fast cars, dangerous women, and having nothin' but a good time. Ratt Poison has a whole swag of cock rock classics in their repertoire to choose from, ranging from fist-pumping party anthems to tear-jerking power ballads.
The Ratt Poison live show is hair-raising, exciting and stimulating. All members of the band are accomplished musicians. Their music and showmanship embodies the unrepentant excesses and glamour of the hair metal era. Equipped with more makeup than your mother, hair that needs its own zoning permit, and pants that leave nothing to the imagination, these guys are prettier than your girlfriend!
Ratt Poison looks the part even down to the wardrobe which consists of real glam rock attire that was actually worn by hair bands in the 80's. Armed with an arsenal of genuine guitars and instruments from the era, Ratt Poison will transport you back in time to the arena spectaculars of the 1980s with their reproductions of retro 80s rock classics. No obscure or rare tracks here. Only true top 40 chart-busting 80s tunes and a performance replicating the stage choreography of the legendary bands they imitate, the result of experience gleaned from innumerable hours of viewing MTV, Video Hits and too many all night sessions of watching Rage to possibly recount.
The Ratt Poison experience is unique in such a way that it encapsulates a whole genre of an era, while many other tribute bands paint themselves into a corner by covering a single artist only. The members share a passion that stems from loving the music they grew up on. All the guys are veterans of the local, interstate and international live music scenes with many years of experience between them. With ages averaging in their mid-30s, this experience is displayed in their professional attitude, articulated musical performances and overall presence.
So slide into some spandex, slather on the mascara, and dig out the industrial strength hair products because Ratt Poison is sweeping the glam nation. When these big-haired pretty boys are in town, you'd better lock up your daughters, your sisters, and their makeup kits!
