Rats In The Kitchen

Rats In The Kitchen are a UB40 tribute band whose mission is to faithfully reproduce the music of UB40 using only live instruments and vocals without the use of backing tracks and sequencers.

Rats In The Kitchen was formed late in the Summer of 1998 in UB40's home town of Birmingham by a group of friends who had known each other through the local music scene for sometime. Like the real UB40, they all had a common love of Reggae music in general and had followed the band since their first hits in the early 1980's. This makes playing together and performing songs that they have grown up with a pleasure which is evident at every gig that they perform. Creating the right atmosphere adds to the overall pleasure for our audience and guarantees customer satisfaction and repeat bookings.

Dave 'Box' Trouth - Lead vocals and rhythm guitar
