Cantankerous are of course the surviving
members of the Seminal Rats, but are not exactly delving into old ground.
Having supported Seattle's Zeke recently, they have new compositions and
are still keen to play. Sadly, of course Seminal Rats guitarist and key
songwriter Mr. Michael Webber passed away earlier this year and the surviving
'Rats have taken some time out for themselves but are now back into it.
