That Guy from Ratatat Takes a Shower

Have you seen those dudes in Ratatat? They've got some nice hair. And by nice, we mean stringy and greasy. But it's understandable: they've got an alternative image to uphold, after all.

So it surprised us to know that they actually shower. According to reliable sources, a member of the duo was showering in the communal bathroom on the second floor of Weld after arriving on campus this afternoon. Members of the Harvard Concert Commission stood guard outside.

According to HCC director Julia C. Goldenheim, the Concert Commission provided showering spaces for some of Ratatat's crew. Mhmm Weld bathroom: that's some red carpet treatment. "Other people were in charge of this all day," Goldenheim said in an annoyed voice when asked to verify Ratatat's appearance in Weld. "There were different people in different places."

Well, the Concert Commission must not have done a good job cleaning up those boys because they looked pretty damn greasy up on stage later that night. Next to all that laser light and steam clouds, they nearly glistened.
