MAGIC RATS
Hey Rats Fans,
The Magic Rats are taking the month of March to rehearse some new jams for you all. Jeremy is also heading down to Mexico for a bit so we are all hoping he makes it back in one piece. Early reports indicate he is extremely nervous about the trip but we are confident he will survive the ordeal.
We have a great lineup of shows planned this Spring and it all kicks off at The Park Pub on Friday April 17 at 8:30 PM.
Guitar player and Kendall Roy impersonator Jeremy Deutsch adds:
“I am honestly pretty nervous about going to Mexico but Bobby Mongoose says everything will be okay and he is always 100% correct about everything in life so I guess I’ll be fine.”
Early reports suggest Jeremy has packed three guitars, two pairs of sunglasses and absolutely no sunscreen, which could be a problem.
Meanwhile Mr. Goatee Jesse Dramer had this to say while adjusting several mysterious knobs on the Rats Nest rehearsal equipment:
“Oh we’ve been working hard pouring our sweat and tears into rehearsals. We’ve also invested in some new gear for the Nest which should help us level up. It might also help Jeremy if he gets kidnapped.”
Naturally Bobby Mongoose had something to say about all of this.
“Everything the Rats are saying is true. I am always right and the new tunes and gear are going to help us level up. We also have some exciting new merch coming for the Rat Pack so stay tuned.”
Even Splinter the Rat, usually too busy back in the nest working on his beats, took a moment to offer his thoughts:
“I love the drums.”
Powerful words.
When asked to elaborate further Splinter simply stared into the distance and tapped a hi-hat. Hard to argue with that.
With the Rats rehearsing hard and Jeremy hopefully returning from Mexico in one piece, the band is getting ready to hit the stage this Spring with a great lineup of shows.
It all kicks off Friday April 17 at the Park Pub on Davie Street, always a great time and one of our favourite places to play.
After that the Rats head over to one of Vancouver’s most legendary rock and roll spots, The Princeton Pub, before making our return at Donegal’s Irish Pub out in Surrey. Yes, they asked us to come back. Go figure.
So mark your calendars Rat Pack:

Saturday May 2

Three sets. No cover. Plenty of rock and roll.
In short, you won’t want to miss the Rats this Spring.
And if Jeremy makes it back from Mexico… the shows should be even better.
BE THERE.
XOXO

Hailing from the riverbanks of the mighty Fraser, Bobby put down his axe going on 25 years ago only to be welcomed back into the arms of his fellow rats in 2022. Charisma is what best describes Mongoose, some might say talent, but they are wrong, it’s charisma, good looks, and being humble. Either way one thing is for sure, it’s certainly not his guitar playing. He also wanted the fans to know, as of November 22, 2024 he has made up with his hero Bruce Springsteen.
Jesse
Dramer
When he’s not chilling at the lake or working on other music projects, Dramer will be roaming around the Ridge thinking up strange cover tunes or disappointing his mom on her birthday. It’s not all bad news though cause Jesse is the nicest guy and if he ever sets his sights on your you better watch out or he will hypnotize you with his tender and syrupy vocals. He’s like Biggie but white and has a goatee. Currently Jesse is sans goatee.
Jeremy
DeuTsch
While he’s better known to longtime fans for his work behind the drum kit, Jeremy “the Accountant” Deutsch has pressed pause on his bookkeeping days in favour of rocking on four and six strings. Always one to challenge his rat counterparts to expand their musical offerings, Jeremy is just as hard on himself honing his craft. “The Accountant” is always on hand to make sure the rats are taken care of and getting their fair of the cheese.

Splinter is new to world of musicianship. His journey into drumming began during the global pandemic by teaching himself the drums through online sources. After about a year, he supplemented his online training with in person lessons. Under the tutelage of a professional drummer his skills are improving. What started as hobby with the only intention of playing in his basement to pass time, has now flourished. Drumming is now a more expensive hobby in which Splinter has had a few opportunities to play in front of a crowd and not just annoy his spouse and neighbours. Splinter is excited to begin his musical performance journey with the Magic Rats.
