Title: Ratatat
Post by: Breedlove on October 05, 2010, 10:28:32 pm: Ill band. Anyone else heard of them? Wish I was seeing them when they come to Boston at the House of Blues pretty soon but I already bought two tickets to the Phish concert in Worcester in December. If only I had a job and could go to every concert I wanted to >_<

A quick YouTube search to find some music. I listened to a couple of songs but they are boring and they are kinda a one-trick-pony. The same rhythm, the same melody, but different instruments. Sometimes there is a deviation in the song, but overall they are the same.

Sorry but I think this group is rather boring. You are better of going to Phish.

It's hard to put Ratatat in a genre. In my opinion it's electronic rock, what's your opinion?

Electronic music != techno.

That being said, I haven't listened to these guys that much but I've like what I've heard. Good band.

Post by: Breedlove on October 21, 2010, 10:00:09 am: Sorry, I'm not very far into those genres. They use a lot of electronic instruments, reversed loops, etc. So I called them techno.

Cherry is probably my favorite song
