Welcome to the online home of Rattlerock!
When Coronavirus first landed on English shores, we were happily on tour with The Monofones. Neither of us thought it would really be a problem, much like the SARS disease a few years back. How wrong we were! Coronavirus has progressed remarkably and has completely dominated 2020, forcing all bands and live music in general to a complete and utter standstill.
Because of this, we have decided to call time on 2020 and enter our annual closed season period early. This means that we won't accept any shows for 2020, Only bookings for 2021 and beyond will now be considered.
It was a difficult decision, but ultimately we want to be able to give you our full rattlerock show; not a watered-down "safe" version. When music venues eventually open back up ("eventually" being the operative word), live music will likely be a very different experience for a while. Obviously, this needs to happen to keep folk safe, but our Snakerattlers show is ugly, up-close and very personal. We only want to do it that way and won't conform to safety measures in order to do a show. So we think that waiting for live gigs to return to some kind of normality is the best thing for us to do.
We are currently looking at January 2021 for a return to live shows, but this is obviously only going to happen if restrictions on gigs have been lifted and it is safe for us to perform in the way we want to perform.
We are however working on 14 new tracks for our third album. The album has a title, and draft versions of artwork are currently being designed by the hyper talented OR8 Design. We are booked in with the amazing Ross Halden at Hohm Studios to record the album in November. We are also in talks with a number of different labels who have expressed an interest in releasing it. So we are working; it's just all behind the scenes. Our new music is by far the best we have ever written and we can't wait to share it with you. We're pushing the boundaries of what a two-piece band can be, and also what we can physically do as live music performers. We are in a really great place creatively right now, despite Covid-19 dominating all other areas of life. We're going to come back stronger than ever.
For now, stay safe and go steady. Support your local grassroots music venues in any way you can, until they can safely re-open.
They need you now more than ever. Full time bands also need your support so they can make it out of the other side of Covid-19.
P.S. Don't forget we have an online shop!
