It's NOT the "new" Boomtown Rats, its Simon & Gary (or Garrick as he wants to be called nowadays) trying to flog a dead horse they were happy to quit donkey's years ago. Bob, Pete, Johnnie & Gerry are all loaded doing stuff post-Rats, whereas they're both skint, so they're trying to rip off gullible retro-fans & middleagers with a 'tribute' act of their former band. As embarrassing as it is crap.
Crowe & Fingers refused to do the Boomtown Rats because they wanted to continue with Gung Ho & felt the Rats were finished. This was reported in a July 1985 edition of the Bizzarre showbiz column in The Sun. Who was the spokesperson for Gung Ho that day? SIMON CROWE!
If Simon flogging that "Bob Geldof spanked groupies with a silk slipper" story hadn't already shown he's a mercenary git with no loyalty to his old mates, this pathetic charade certainly has.
is that Jack Black in the stripy trousers?

Saw The Rats in Harlow last month. They went down a storm. Well worth seeing if they come anywhere near you.

I've saw them live in 2008 and they are a brilliant band. The best I've ever seen.
