Alright .. the time has finally come for Year of the Rat to release our majesty upon the world (and by 'world' I mean Livevictoria). Up for the offering is our debut EP, entitled "The Code" -- if you would like to take a listen and provide some feedback / tell us what you think, that would be awesome.

Good question -- I wish I knew! We've been trying to find somewhere we can play on a Friday or Saturday night to maximize the number of people who can come. Most of our friends are kind of lame (read: working folk -- which I guess makes me lame as well) who can't stay out too late during the week.

Rest assured I will plaster all over here and our Facebook page once we get something bolted down.

In the meantime -- did you take a listen to the EP? - Wed, 30 Jun 2010 9:21pm

So it looks like we will be doing our CD Release at the Fort Street Cafe on July 31st (Saturday) .. we are also opening for Cole Grifter at their BOTM show on the 29th, and in fact we will be the very first band to play on the new stage at Evo (or whatever it will be called after they re-open). There will be CDs available at both shows. - Wed, 7 Jul 2010 10:13am

BTW, your cd hasn't left my car since I picked it up. There are some really solid tunes on it. I suggest people buy it (no, I aint in the band nor am I friends with anyone in the band (well facebook friends but that doesn't count)). Cheers, Lucius - Sun, 25 Jul 2010 4:43pm

I listened to this EP. I thought it was pretty good- cool songs with a unique fun-but-hard rock style. But I wasn't super excited about it. Then something happened.
About an hour later I had little bits of it playing in my head, and by the time I got home a few hours later I had to put it on again.
Got my fix, but the jonesin' kept coming back and I am totally hooked now. I suggest poeple buy this album if they're trying to quit smoking or crack- could easily transfer that addiction to the catchy synth riffs and simple vocal melodies that stick in your head for days at a time. But now that I'm hooked on this album I'm thinking of starting to smoke cigarettes or crack to get off The Code. - Sat, 31 Jul 2010 8:00pm

Leave it to iTunes to generate a weirdly random price, I guess..

Thanks for the all the comments on the EP -- building our fanbase one person at a time, right? Stay tuned for news about our next record .. we've already got 10 solid tunes in the pipe, and more to come! - Wed, 4 Aug 2010 8:28am
