Bob Weir and RatDog | RatDog.Org

Given that RatDog has yet to see a temperature over 55 this tour, it's debatable whether or not you can legally call it spring tour, but nevertheless here we are halfway through already. (It should be mentioned the temperature inside during the Covington show was measured somewhere just shy of 300 degrees.) The band jumped out to a smokin' start for the big show in St. Paul, and reports indicate the momentum has carried through into the northeast, the epicenter of RatDogmania. [Dates]

Tonight RatDog plays its April Fools' show in Stroudsburg, PA. Last night, crew members Mike, AJ, and Peter took the stage at Front Row, a nearby bar. Check out the pictures. While you're admiring the best crew in rock n roll, the official site has a new feature up on Charucki, the man who makes the band sound good to the band and who is the lucky recipient of all those seemingly cryptic hand signals from the band.
