It's the summer of 2015 and our newest Londoner, Aussie punk rock legend Lucy Spazzy, is bored of playing at home by herself.

She needs a band badly so she assembles a bunch of deadbeats and outcasts from the punk rock underworld and starts rehearsing them.

With Manu (Thee Tumbitas) on drums and Mike Animal Cannibal and Joe To Lose (Los Perros, Johnny Throttle) on the twin guitar assault, these rodents had some bite and, voila, Lucy and the Rats were born! Their sound is chock-full of mean hooks and warm irresistible melodies; Lucy's delicate voice and harmonies sitting on top of what has become a brilliant powerpop backing band.

They've spend the past few years playing all over the world, and in 2018 added Japan and Australia.

Their self-titled debut album was produced by Johnny Casino and Jim Diamond (White Stripes, Dirtbombs).
