Juan Croucier debut’s his Ratt side project
WESTLAND, Michigan – It’s been a busy few months in the Ratt camp with different members launching new offshoots of the brand they once ruled the world with. Juan Croucier finally made his live debut with his “The Other Voice Of Ratt” side project.
The group appeared at “The Token Lounge” just on the outskirts of Detroit Michigan in the city of Westland on September 24th.
The project which is advertised as Ratt’s Juan Croucier The Other Voice of Ratt features Croucier on lead vocals and bass, Pete Holmes (Black N’ Blue) on drums, Mike Moore (Guitar) and Toni Aleman on bass.
The Ratt camp as we’ve noted above has been in the news as of late with Bobby Blotzer’s Ratt Experience essentially morphing into RATT as of last week. Metal Sludge first reported this was going to happen back on September 12th.
On the heels of last week’s press release from Blotzer, Warren DeMartini went public to state just 1 day later that he is not in favor of this move. The band’s guitaist also stated he was is in the process of taking the necessary steps to stop Blotzer’s ‘new Ratt lineup’ from going forward.
During the Botzer, Croucier and DeMartinin news, lead vocalist and the sole original founding member Stephen Pearcy has been quiet outside of playing his solo shows.
A few clips from Ratt’s Juan Croucier’s The Other Voice of Ratt band’s live show are below for your viewing pleasure.

The band’s press release from August 4th 2015 is listed below.
Los Angeles – Juan Croucier (RATT), Pete Holmes (Black N’ Blue), Mike Moore and Toni Aleman have formed a new group. They will be performing as, RATT’S JUAN CROUCIER. The band will be playing songs from the RATT catalog, exclusively.
Having solidified the core of the band (lead vocals, bass and drums), Juan and Pete set out to find the right guitar players for the group. After extensive auditions resulting from hundreds of submissions, they found two very talented guitar players in Mike Moore and Toni Aleman. Sharing the same passion, commitment and vision, they have been diligently rehearsing a set of over eighteen songs. “We have left no stone unturned. We’ve been working long and hard. It’s all about the live show. We take this very seriously. Mike and Toni are simply killing it! There is a unique chemistry between the members of this band that is often so illusive. Our attention to detail has culminated in a fresh, energetic and modern twist on Ratt’s classic catalog of songs. I believe that anyone who loves Ratt will really enjoy this band too. I can’t wait to get out there and bring it to the people, after all they are the ultimate judges of our art,” says Croucier.
The band will begin performing in September and is currently booking additional shows.
