The Boomtown Rats were an influential Irish rock group primarily involved in the UK New Wave movement between the mid seventies up until the mid eighties. The band was fronted by the charismatic/eccentric leader Bob Geldof who led them to success with a series of hit singles.

The Boomtown Rats formed in 1975 and rose to prominence in Dublin, Ireland. The collective consisted of 6 natives of the Irish town Dún Laoghaire including the following lineup: vocalist Bob Geldof, lead guitarist Garry Roberts, keyboardist Johnnie Fingers, bassist Pete Briquette, rhythm guitarist Garry Cott, and drummer Simon Crowe. Before they were known as the Boomtown Rats they were called the Nightlife Thugs (a name that guitarist Roberts detested). The band later switched their name to a reference Geldof came across when reading Woody Guthrie’s autobiography “Bound for Glory”.

A year after the band’s formation they moved to London and inevitably got caught up in the punk rock movement combusting in the city. Influenced by the likes of the Sex Pistols, the band released their first single “Lookin’ After No.1” a grating, rhythmically dislocated track that oozed with excitement. This track headed their 1977 self-titled debut album, which features a string of tongue-in-cheek punk songs including the No.15 UK charting single “Mary on the 4th Form”.

The band’s second album “A Tonic for the Troops” was a landmark release for the punk community. It was very well received both critically and commercially, containing the 3 hit tracks “Like Clockwork”, “She’s So Modern” and “Rat Trap”. The latter track broke multiple records being recognized as the first single by an Irish Rock Band to top the charts in the UK, the first single by an Irish band to peak at No.1 on the BBC charts and also the first New Wave Single to take the top spot on the charts.

The group did not remotely let up on their stride. They subsequently put out their highly catchy but controversial single (a song about the 1979 Cleveland Elementary School Shootings) to widespread praise and commercial acceptance. It climbed the charts to the No.1 position in multiple countries although it did not top the charts in America. However it was the band’s first and only single to reach the US Billboard Hot 100. This song was later included on their third studio album “The Fine Art of Surfacing” alongside another U.K. Top Ten hit “Someone’s Looking At You”.

A year later the band put out another UK Top Ten single “Banana Republic” and followed it up with their 1981 album “Mondo Bongo”. The band started to lose steam after this release. “Banana Republic” was the band’s last major commercial success and their album “Mondo Bongo” would be the last release to feature guitarist Cott (who left the group to pursue a solo career).

The band continued to press on without Cott’s presence and released their 5th studio album “V Deep” in 1982 through Ensign Records in the UK and Columbia Records in the US. “V Deep” featured the production work of skilled recording engineer Tony Visconti a producer who is credited with the involvement of such classic albums as T. Rex’s “Electric Warrior”, David Bowie’s “Heroes”, and Iggy Pop’s “The Idiot”.

The group’s next album “In the Long Grass” saw release in the UK in 1984; however, Columbia Records refused to put it out until the band made alternations on the track “Dave”. The album was eventually released in the US in 1985 and managed to chart at No. 188 on the US Billboard 200; however, it failed to chart in the UK and consequently ended the band’s recording contract.

Despite the Boomtown Rat’s disintegration, Geldof was able to establish a name for himself outside the band and with the help of Ultravox singer Midge Ure he wrote the massive hit “Do They Know it’s Christmas”, which went on to become the highest selling single in the U.K.

Geldof also immersed himself in charity work and founded the Live Aid concert series. Apart from his career as a recording artist and a his role as a political activist he received wide acclaim for his starring position in the Pink Floyd movie the Wall.

Live reviews

Bob Geldof’s never really been for everyone - I can still remember seeing a chap at a festival some years back wearing a t-shirt that referred to Bono in expletive terms on the front, and read “don’t get me started on that prick Geldof” on the back - but the relative merits of his charity work aside - and I for one think he deserves all the plaudits he gets for it - he is also, first and foremost, a musician. Last year, he reformed The Boomtown Rats after almost thirty years of inactivity - they split not longer after Band Aid and Live Aid ultimately came to overshadow them - and toured the UK with the same lineup that was together when they disbanded, minus keyboardist Johnnie Fingers. A UK tour of intimate venues - intimate for a star of Geldof’s proportions, anyway - met with superb critical reviews; the Rats tore through sets that afforded equal representation to their albums, and included classic cuts like ‘Rat Trap’ and ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’. At most shows, a second encore was demanded, with the band acquiescing to the request with their eponymous ‘The Boomtown Rats’; so well-received were the shows, in fact, that another, longer run has been scheduled across Britain for October and November; too early for a rendition of “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” - not that Sir Bob would dare drop that one in front of an old punk crowd.

Brilliant night! Was in the standing section and thoroughly enjoyed my night although i didnt enjoy it as much as seeing them in hollywood in the summer, it just didnt have the same atmosphere but they are an amazing live band nonetheless. Highly recommend going to see them!

The Boomtown Rats

After storming of the Isle of Wight Festival stage on their regrouping an exhilarated Bob Geldof said “It’s weird. I’d forgotten how powerful a band The Rats are!” Others hadn’t.

What was only meant to be a brief moment of reuniting it turned into triumphant sell out tours, a block-booked season’s, new albums and major documentaries. 

Beyond nostalgia both press and audience agreed that those many classic Ratsongs had indeed stood the test of time morphing from the radical, upstart transgressive rage of the mid-70’s into tunes for the ages with a tragic contemporary resonance.

The audience, ranging from the Rats’ contemporaries to the newer, younger curious crowd wondering what the fuss had been about, immediately recognised the timeless frustrations and rage of the Now embodied in the Rats’ tunes and performance.

Age had indeed not withered them, but made them more potent.

At a time of cookie cutter anodyne musical drivel the visceral Shock of the Old from its original purveyors is one of contemporary music’s great treats and revelations.
