Good Rats - Tough Guys and Just Found Me a Lady

From the September 29, 2012 show at the Rochester Brewhaus in Rochester, NY. At this point of the show I got up on stage and recorded the rest of the show from behind the keyboard player. The front man and songwriter Peppi Marchello passed away on July 10th, 2013. RIP and God Bless Peppi, we miss ya!!!!

Jerry, you're spot on. The shit you're talking about ain't music. When I expose young people to the Good Rats their jaws drop and they love it. My 23 y/o kid is one of Pep's biggest fans and he's turning his pals on every chance he gets.

Excellent, RIP, Pepe, you are missed, way too soon!

Tasty RCIB & FRTR are 3 of the best sophomore jr and senior records ever made I mean their 2nd 3rd and 4th releases are real gems! Had a huge impact on my teen years in Rochester from the penny arcade Elliot’s nest I can’t believe it was 50 Freaking years ago man that the only thing I could think about was that damn band! Just amazing! Now it’s April 2024 and I’m still listening to them with the same wonderment! They were a band that I thought was gonna have a huge breakout somewhere along the line! They were a tightly knit quintet Mickeys rhythm Johns leads Lenny’s bass joes drumming 2nd only to Neil peart and peppis vocals were and still are kick ass ! Thanks to the good rats and it’s surviving members and to the rest of yas peppi….RIP.
