   About Huge Rat Attacks
WE ARE BASICALLY BROKEN UP. IF YOU WISH TO PURCHASE THE ALBUM "COUGARS" GET A HOLD OF PHIL AT ROCK BOTTOM RECORDS (IN OUR TOP FRIENDS). Jon is moving to Colorado, Justin is playing in First Communion Afterparty and a couple other projects, Kc is playing in a band w/ a couple dudes from the Vets, Red Life, and Cave Deaths, and Jason is playing with Mickey and Bob from Shotgun Monday. Neither have names yet. that's about it so far! :)

we fly through space with jet packs. we are all the holligrams on the hollideck. we will play laser tag. we might glide on the black dragon. we will fight the cyborg kickboxer. the robots are cartoons. the robots have red eyes of laser beams. don't ever push the RED button. you may destroy the death star. oh these? these are not spikes. these are pointy arms. can you see into the future? look into your crystal ball. place it on your shoulders.

"Huge Rat Attacks was an undecipherable mindfuck journey at the Christensen's Big V's in Saint Paul. I accidentally closed my eyes for three minutes during a song and during this time I tasted colors and smelled sound. Although standing I was only half-conscious. When I came to from this brainwarp, Jason Huge Rat Attacks had grown to three times his normal size. He turned his head to the right and barfed on the stage! Not impressed, you say? Have you ever seen a man vomit up a talking serpent? The armless snake took Jason's guitar and began playing an outrageous solo while singing. The bassist and drummer vanished, Jason became a snare drum, and the show ended. Bravo. --Double Indemnity

here is an article about our show at the 7th st with the black angels and daughters of the sun:
"Kicking off the evening was an unforgiving assault on the eardrum called Huge Rat Attacks. The group tore through the tracks of their soon-to-be-released album, Cougars, with blinding speed and wild abandon. Most impressively, Huge Rat Attack's progressive songwriting structure lurks subtlety under their sheer wall of lush reverb, distortion and pain, leaving the listener to embark on their own aural journey only to be awakened by the sonic wail of a large hungry rodent on three hits of acid." -- Perfect Porridge

.. Hi there Huge Rat Attacks first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.

Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people you can click the link below to visit our profile which wlil provide you with more information and also give you the link to our website! I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.




And again , thanks for being our friend!..

The more I listen to "Montana," the more I realize that Huge Rat Attacks is a great band. I found it at Treehouse Records when I was in MN a few weeks ago. Come to Sacramento!
