Living legend monsieur Rat Scabies yet again strikes with this sadly short lived project.
>>>>> Rat had left The Damned in October 1977 and straight away set out to form his own band. First attempts as Rat Scabies & The Runners and then Drunk & Disordely were unsuccessful but by January 1978 he had formed The White Cats.
until August 1978 ,,,END,,l;l;;,.,,
,, It became apparent that the band were getting nowhere and in September 1978 Rat returned to The Damned. Shame because The White Cats' songs were great especially one of my fave rat trax TEENAGE DREAM.
it truly fuking suxxx that they never recorded an lp. The band however did get two John Peel radio sessions. The first, broadcasted 3.4.78, is excellent featuring the stomper Second Time Around (to become Machine Gun Etiquette), Escalator Of Love & Teenage Dream. The second broadcast 25.8.78 featured Shotgun Lovers, Here I Go Again, Junkyard Angels & Detectives.
