What a result....the producer of Rat Scabies Grail Hunter – got in touch with me to ask if I fancied doing a Rat interview for my blog!!
I met with Him last month for a chat about all things grail-shaped. Rat's a top bloke, and very down to earth – but, made it clear The Damned (or the band as he refers to them), weren't up for discussion, and that he's spoken about all that enough in the past. Renne-le-Ratteau is here if you fancy a peep.

As mentioned there’s no Damned talk, but I did manage a drumming, production and musical influences chat with him which I’ll blog at later date. However a couple of Damned scraps mentioned during the evening, but not blogged were:
How Rat would shield himself from flying-greenies, by careful positioning of his cymbals.
That Rat and Captain had the idea of forming a band after reading Nik Cohn’s Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom (new movements come in 7 year cycles – they realised it had been 7 years since the last one).
That each album was so varied because the band became bored easily.
Oh, and he remembers the Crocs gigs too..
