The Boston Arms has two sides to it.
The community pub, the boozer hosts all manner of North London characters, attracted by its Irish charm and fairly decent (for the postcode) drinks offers.
Its backroom, though, also functions as a gig venue, a sweatpit for new talent to prove themselves. Rat Boy soaked up both sides of the Boston Arms at a recent, feverish, live show.
The rising talent took the stage amid a packed venue, young fans surging the stage at each track. Thankfully, a camera crew was on hand to capture the whole, sweat-drenched, riotous affair.
Rat Boy is set to play Reading and Leeds this weekend, so you'll be able to soak up the whole thing first hand if you have a ticket.
If you can't make it – or simply want a preview – check out the footage below.
RAT BOY will be playing the Festival Republic stage at Reading on Saturday (14.55) and Leeds on Sunday (14.50). You can grab new single 'FAKE ID' from iTunes here.
