Red Carpet Rats Scheduled to be on the show...

Although they may be Nashville’s best kept secret, Red Carpet Rats are undoubtedly one of the hardest working bands to come out of the Music City.  This four man rock collective not only wrote every song on their radio-friendly debut release, “The Year of the Rat,” they also produced it, initiated a digital marketing campaign, and formed their own label, Chauffeur Records, to oversee it all.

 The Red Carpet Rats story began taking shape when guitarist McCabe landed a production deal at a local studio in Boston.  He started auditioning potential band members and responded to lead singer Uni Pereira’s ad in a northeastern music magazine.  They clicked instantly.  Agreeing on the importance of great material, they started to make regular trips to Nashville to hone their writing skills.  They soon opted to relocate and completed the band line-up, with drummer Tige Bucchino, who had come to Nashville from San Antonio with thoughts of being in a country band, and Doc Singles, who drove all the way from North Carolina to audition for the bass position.  The band, who took their name from a less-than-stellar online traveler review given about a hotel stay in Uni’s hometown of Brooklyn, N.Y., was set, and wasted no time creating edgy, gripping tunes with four-part harmonies and catchy pop melodies
