Radio Rats
The Radio Rats are a South African rock group first formed in 1977〔Album liner notes for ''Into the Night We Slide'', The Radio Rats, Fresh Music, 2002 CD re-issue〕 in Springs, Gauteng, by Jonathan Handley (lead guitar and background vocals), Dave Davies on lead vocals and Herbie Parkin on bass, with various drummers. Leonard Dixon is remembered as the group's drummer during its most famous period.
"The Rats", as they are known colloquially, are notable for their 1979 hit, "ZX Dan". In 1978, the group recorded a ten-song LP called ''Into the Night We Slide''. The album immediately created a stir, in particular with its kick-off single, "ZX Dan", which peaked at no. 2 on Johannesburg-based Radio 5 (now called "5FM"). It was kept off the number one position by Michael Jackson.
==Critical reception==
The South African Rock Lists website lists ''Into the Night We Slide'' as one of the top ten local rock albums of the seventies, along with Hawk’s ''African Day'' (1971), Freedom’s Children’s ''Astra'' (1970) and Rabbitt’s ''Boys Will Be Boys'' (1975).〔 ''Into the Night We Slide'' has also been included in the "Essential South African albums" list, based on a survey of various people in the South African music industry compiled in 2002 by music critic, John Samson.〔〔
In his Radio Rats retrospective on SAFM radio in January 2000, Nigel Vermaas called Jonathan Handley one of the unsung heroes of South African music: "He's funny, he's witty and he's dedicated. And he's disarmingly self-deprecating."〔〔
