MAGIC RATS
Hey Rats Fans,
The Rats are coming off a rockin’ night at The Park Pub and we just want to say — what a crowd.
Davie Street was alive, the dance floor was moving, and once again the Rat Pack showed up in full force. Three sets, no survivors.
We were able to catch up with a few of the Rats following the show.
Bobby Mongoose, still glistening slightly under the stage lights, had this to say:
“That’s what it’s all about right there. The fans, the energy, the music. Also I sounded incredible, but that goes without saying.”
Jeremy Deutsch, fresh off his return from Mexico and somehow still in one piece, added:
“Yeah it was great to be back. I wasn’t sure if I’d make it home but I did and now I’m even more nervous about the Princeton show.”
Encouraging.
Meanwhile Jesse Dramer was seen pacing near the bar, deep in thought, before offering this insight:
“We’ve tightened things up. The new tunes are hitting, the gear is dialed in… I don’t want to overstate it but we may have reached a new level.”
Even Splinter the Rat, who immediately disappeared after load-out, left us with a brief but powerful statement:
“Drums were good.”
Strong.
With Park Pub in the rearview, the Rats now set their sights on the next two stops.
Next up – THE PRINCETON PUB
The Rats head to one of Vancouver’s most legendary rock and roll rooms:
Saturday May 2
The Princeton Pub – Vancouver
8:30 PM
This is a gritty, no-nonsense, rock and roll kind of night.
Low lights. Loud amps. Cold drinks.
Exactly how it should be.
DONEGAL’S IRISH PUB
Then we take things out to Surrey for a return engagement:
Friday June 19
Donegal’s Irish Pub – Surrey
8:00 PM
The last time we were there something clicked — great room, great crowd, and yes… they asked us back.
We’ll be bringing the full show.
Three sets. No cover. Plenty of rock and roll.
If Park Pub was any indication… you’re going to want to be at these next two.
BE THERE.
XOXO

mongoose
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.
