The story(short version)
Rat,Ted and Josê were raised listening to biker-rock and heavy metal. True to their roots they swore an oath to bring the real rock'n'roll-values and attitude back into rock, riffin' and partying together in Rat's messy apartment. No hipster-crap, no consideration when it comes to YOUR taste, no weeping, no hairgel, no jazz, no hippies, no pretentous clever-prog, no sophisticated arty-farty, no irony, no remorse, no respect. Later on they teamed up with the awesome sound wiz Stefano, and from their basement the dirty sounds of Rat Salad soon roared out to the rock-underground. A demo was made. And a record is currently beeing put together.
Cheers!!!
"Bloody guitars with broken strings, naked girls laying around, empty bottles,trashed gear and furniture everywhere. The peculiar smell of sweat, cheap lady-perfume and sleepy drunks. In the corner a guy was sleeping with whipped cream pouring out of his shorts, his eyebrows were shaved off and replaced by felt-pen droodles. The toilet was smashed asunder, and the water was pouring straight up like a fountain. I was just passing by to see how the demo was getting ahead. But I figured I'd better get out of here and come back some other time. When I turned towards the door a voice said "Hey man! How bout' a glass of bourbon?""

"I've got fire to burn! I've got fire to burn! All nigth!!!"-Rat Salad
RIDIN' FREE FOREVER!!!
"We had just left from Tuscon headin' west through Death Valley towards the coast. Or north-west trough Nevada desert, didn't care where. We had no plan anyway. No home to rest. The open sky were our home now. And the cold desert ground our bed. Except from a cheap motel now and then. I picked her up at a gas station somewhere in Texas. She were startin' to get use to it now, she were restin' her head on my shoulders, sitting behind me in the saddle. The heat steamed like fire from the asphalth. The desert winds sweepin' over our faces, blowin' up the sand in circles. The sun were setting. It was all red and burnin'. She said "Would you like to, honey...?," I got myself a zip of bourbon, and pulled off"
