Toilet Rats is a one-person operation conceived, performed, and maintained by Tommy Ratz, an elusive character who allegedly operates out of a small studio in the sewers beneath Minneapolis, MN where he is surrounded by synthesizers, guitars, and fast food wrappers. Unable to get internet or television signals in the sewer, Ratz collects discarded VHS tapes, audio cassettes, and discarded brochures, which inform his sense of reality and worldview. As a result, he is regularly expectant of national threats that have long passed, and wildly behind on trends and cultural norms. His thought process is therefore not unlike flipping through daytime television channels circa 1983. Undoubtedly, he would use the wrong fork while dining with a visiting monarch. Because he listens to discarded cassette tapes to satiate his musical cravings, Toilet Rats music influences and output is an amalgamation of synth pop, thrash metal, and spaghetti western soundtracks.
King Sized Coffin is a 6 piece band out of Minneapolis, MN that has been called Gothic Jazz, Horror Folk, and October-Core. Imagine Tom Waits covering songs that Danny Elfman wrote for a Tim Burton film with some Gogol Bordello thrown in to keep the listener awake.
