RATZ MOTEL - Band Bio

Inspired by the cult classic “Rat's Motel” by Lord Tracy, Ratz Motel was founded in the heart of Kansas City by four rockers who never checked out of the glory days of loud guitars and big hair. Their mission? To keep the party alive—and pay tribute to the one-hit wonders and nearly-forgotten legends who once ruled the airwaves.

Meet the Staff:

• Joey Riley – VOX: The front desk manager of mayhem, welcoming every guest with a scream and a smile.
   
• Rhaunie DeKiro – Guitarz: Your in-room entertainment, shredding riffs hotter than a broken radiator in July.
   
• Shawn Wagner – Bass: Keeps the floors rumbling and the guests dancing all night long.
   
• Clarence McWilliams – Drumz: Need a night cap, pounding on doors and skins until nobody’s sleeping.
   

Every show is a new room in our endless party palace. The setlist? A tribute to the bands you almost forgot—but never stopped loving. Ratz Motel rocks the hidden gems and anthems of
Black n Blue, XYZ, Trixter, Saigon Kick, Skid Row, Dokken, Great White, Tora Tora,
and more.

Check in for a three-hour, no-breaks, wall-to-wall hit parade with hair metal attitude and crowd-fueled chaos. The music’s loud, the welcome’s warm, and the checkout time? Never.

Ratz Motel: Every room rocks, and every night is a party.
Welcome to the wildest stay of your life.
