“Rock and Roll. The kind that sticks in your brain. Loud, fast, smooth, handsome rock.” “That band is really blowing up right now. They’re number 1 on iTunes”

The Rat takes inspiration from the greats - Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows, and recent (but solid) discovery Train - and then spins it out of control.
This is why Mouse Rat is Pawnee's #1 band for any music event, and all unofficial government functions.

As Scarecrow Boat, the Rat refused to be confined to one style of music. Now as Mouse Rat, they continue to put out better versions of the same stuff. "It's literally mind blowing," says frontman Andy Dwyer, "Our shows are totally known to rock. And our fans (Rat Tails we call 'em) tell us they leave our shows buzzed beyond belief. They're just super jazzed, and usually tired because we play 'til no one's left."
Mouse Rat is:

Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt) - Vocals, Guitar, Songwriting, Spiritual Inspiration
Wyatt "Burly" Burlinson - Guitar, Backing Vocals
Michael Chang - Bass, Backing Vocals
James Pierson - Drums
April Ludgate, Manager
