Rat Fancy are an American musical duo who formed in late 2016 following the dissolution of Barraza’s previous band Sweater Girls. The duo released their debut EP Suck a Lemon on Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records in 2017.[1] The band has played festivals including SXSW,[2] Athens Popfest, San Francisco Popfest and Oakland Popfest.
Produced by David Newton of the Mighty Lemon Drops,[3] Rat Fancy’s first album Stay Cool was released in 2019 to positive reviews.[4][5] The cassette version of the LP was released on Solidarity Club Records.[6]
In June 2019, they were featured on The A.V. Club’s list of "favorite queer rock of 2019".[7]
