Overview

Melbourne's hypnotic four-piece are returning home to take you through heir latest album. After recently touring with Chet Faker for his national Built On Glass tour, Rat & Co will be setting up their night of audiovisual delights at the Shadow Electric Bandroom. The lads will be joined by renowned beatmakers Silent Jay and Lucianblomkamp and accompanied by a 30-minute visual performance by Blunk.

Both transfixing and transcendental, Rat & Co's music is perfect for getting lost in your own little world far, far away from here. Having said that, the tunes are by no means sleep-inducing; latest single 'Samurai' and previous single 'Vocal Insanity' are more beat-driven, boasting flawless production. In short, don't expect to sit still.

Rat & Co released their second album Binary in May this year, and enjoyed an overwhelmingly positive response to their sophomore efforts. As well as producing their own music, they've also worked on some fantastic remixes of the likes of Chet Faker, Snakadaktal and I'lls — their Soundcloud is certainly worth checking out. If underground hip hop, house beats and precisely-selected samples are your jam, you'd better head along to this gig and enjoy your audio-trip.
