Ratatat performs "Seventeen Years"

NYC-based electronic music duo Ratatat comes to the Showplace Theater on Friday (March 16) with tourmates Professor Murder and Despot. Ratatat has spent plenty of time on the road, touring with the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, and the Killers. Guitarist Mike Stroud and producer/synth driver Evan West met at Skidmore College as students, and they’ve now been working together for over five years, touring relentlessly and producing the underground hit “Seventeen Years” for Rex records off of their 2004 self-titled debut album. A new set up hip-hop overhauls titled Classics is now available. The show starts at 8pm
