Ratbag Announces Auckland Headline Show

Tāmaki Makaurau alt-pop-rocker ratbag has already achieved phenomenal success since launching her debut EP why aren’t you laughing? via Universal Music late last year. Attracting a devoted fanbase and streams in the millions with a flurry of energetic skewed tunes, including 'exit girl, 'rats in my walls', 'rot in love' and new single 'pinky boy', each accompanied by clips based on the artist's own imaginative drawings and sculptures, ratbag has now announced a hometown headline show at Whammy Bar on 23rd October.

Press release:

Abandon all matter and trip into the enigmatic world of ratbag, where the strange, scary and surreal come shuddering to life.

Starring the scrappy and tenacious ratbag, Auckland audiences will be able to experience this immersive visual and phonic world for the first time at Whammy on October 23rd.

The ratbag comes for tea tour follows the release of the characteristically chaotic new singles ‘pinky boy’ and ‘pinky girl’, as well as 2023’s punk-angst fuelled EP why aren’t you laughing? featuring the debut single ‘rats in my walls’.

“[ratbag]’s layered, gauzy music takes its cues from shoegaze, grunge and pop to create unsettling, undeniable earworms” - NME
