Artfully tapping into the rise of authentic American songwriting, alt-country connoisseurs Ratboys radiate humour and humility at Glasgow’s Mono
On Sunday night, Chicago indie rock band Ratboys brought their When the Sun Explodes tour to a sold-out Motorco Music Hall in Durham, which marked their first visit to the venue in eight years, back when they were opening for Foxing.
Ratboys have always existed in the fertile in-between space where indie rock meets country storytelling, but in recent years they’ve fully emerged as one of Americana’s most compelling young voices.
2024 may be almost over, but Ratboys and Palehound aren’t done touring their projects from 2023. The two bands, who both came up around the same time in the mid-to-late 2010s, are co-headlining five dates this week on the East Coast, beginning in D.C.
