Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini Reunite for First Performance In 7 Years

UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini of Ratt reunited for the first time in seven years Saturday night at Mohegan Sun, delivering a tight set of 16 classic songs from their former band.

The pair was joined by drummer Blas Elias, guitarist Carlos Cavazo, formerly of Quiet Riot and Ratt, and bassist Matt Thorne. “This is the first time Warren and I have played in years, man, it feels good,” Pearcy said near the end of the show, also noting plans to write new music with DeMartini.

“It’s not about Ratt. It’s about the legacy of our music, and who better to deliver it?” Pearcy told Eddie Trunk in January regarding the reunion and their decision not to use the Ratt name. “Because we don’t have all the proper original elements, which would include Robbin [Crosby, the late guitarist]. So we just decided, no, this is great, this is perfect. We don’t want to hit a brick wall. We want this nice and smooth.”

Pearcy and DeMartini have two more shows scheduled: May 4 at the M3 Rock Festival in Columbia, Md., and July 26 at Rock the Dam 8 in Beaver Dam, Ky.
