You know when you go to a show and the opening band blows away the headliner. I predict that’s what’s going to happen on both the Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves tours during which Moonrats are opening. Although they are probably more accustomed to playing small venues like The Scene, where this song was recorded a couple of weeks ago, I bet they can rock a 1,000 person crowd just as well as they rocked this 30 person crowd.

The album features songs with classic Stephin Merritt charm and benefits from vast improvements in production over recent releases. This album should have been nothing but aces, but it could have been a whole lot better (More...)

Moonrats rock I saw them this last weekend at the bluebird in Denver COL. They put on a good show.
this is the first ive really heard but im seeing you guys with the blood brothers and in excited
I saw moonrats at headliner when they were opening for Blood Brothers…
Im like obsessed now. they rock! I love FLM its my favorite!
i saw them at headliners as well.
if they had been opening for anyone but bb they would have blown the headliner out of the water. blood brothers is still the best performance i’ve ever seen.
moonrats are definitely due some attention.
