It is with great pride and pleasure that we announce the newest member of the Dromedary family, musician/poet/author *David Rat*.

Our awesome respect for indie rock history is no secret; almost all the bands on the label have had some historical impact on our musical development. David Rat, through his work with NYC No Wave pioneers Rat At Rat R, helped shape not only _our_ development, but that of some of the most important artists ever to strap on a guitar and release an indie album.

We’ve been following David’s resurgence as an artist and a creative voice for several years. His poetry and excerpts from his memoir _Happy Ending_ are inspiring tales of New York City’s underbelly from Rat’s formative years, his struggles with inner demons and how he has drawn strength from the birth of his son.

David Rat is a teacher, a poet, and a musician. His latest musical work is a powerful blend of noise rock, politics and peace. We’re thrilled to be able to present to you a *FREE* digital single this fall, featuring “Dancing With the Starving” b/w “Me,” followed by a full-length LP in mid-2013.
