BRATT?
Bobby Blotzer’s Ratt goes ‘Round N’ Round’ with 11 year old singer
Sunrise, Florida — Is there another lineup change in Ratt already?
Well we cannot confirm or deny that. But what we can confirm is that the band appeared at ‘Rock Fest 80s’ over the weekend and showed off their appeal to younger fans.
Not only did younger fans enjoy the show, but 1 boy became part of the show.
During the Ratt set current singer Joshua Alan brought up a young man for the group’s finale of “Round N’ Round”. And this youngster laid it down vocally to the amazement of the excited crowd and his friends side stage.
We’ve added the video below which we’re sure most will get a kick out of.
Alan who has been fronting the band since last fall should look out or Blotzer just might swap the Las Vegas cover band stud for this Florida grade schooler.
That grade schooler is Ben Meller, who is an 11 year old and sings for local Florida rockers Krush.
Krush is made up of 11 and 12 year olds, but are no strangers to the stage.
Ben’s bandmates are Nick who is 11 and plays guitar, bassist Landon is 12 and Tristan on drums is also 12.
The group who formed in late 2013 have opened up shows for Def Leppard, Tesla and Smash Mouth to name a few.
Metal Sludge gives a huge shout out to Ben and Krush, and to Alan for giving the kid the chance to strut his stuff.
Not only did Ben nail the vocal parts, he was also rocking a wallet chain and all black clothes.
This kid is ready to rock!
Make sure to check out Krush on their official website and Facebook.
We will even offer up the name BRATT as a band name if Blotzer decides to give Alan the boot and bring Meller in. 😉
The weekend’s show was the return of Robbie Crane on bass, while guitar duties are being taken care of by Doc Ellis and Blaze.
The lone original member is Bobby Blotzer (drums).
Ratt is currently hitting the road for weekend fly dates through the end of 2016.
We have posted their most recent tour dates below.
