LABRAT

About Me

LABRAT was formed from the rancid remains of MERGATROID in 1999. Dave and Marc started the electro punk karaoke duo with idea of combining the best of humour, punk, rock pop and funk with the worst of 80s karaoke muzak. The result was a concoction of everything they both liked about silly sparse casio bands mixed with the grunt and experimental vibe that kept them interested, like some of the bands mentioned in the influences section. LABRAT is not something both the guys take too seriously. How could you when your live format for the band mostly consists of a vocalist on a MAMAHAM keyboard and a guitarist hacking away pretty much learning as he goes. They have played quite alot of top gigs ranging from headline stuff through to selective supports and twisted parties. Renowned for their anti-spadge vapour suits and blast goggles whilst playing live, they make people laugh if anything.Over the last 8 years the band have recorded quite a bit of material ranging from hodad country thrash to deep doom styles too. All up about 8-9 albums in total some of which is touched on here. For entire back catalog go to the bands website www.labrats.biz and let us know what you think...or not. Cheers, LABRAT
