MOUSE RAT

Mouse Rat is the brainchild of Pawnee's very own Andy Dwyer, the loveable and somewhat clueless musician portrayed by Chris Pratt on the hit TV show "Parks and Recreation." Originally formed as a way for Andy to impress his on-again, off-again girlfriend April Ludgate, Mouse Rat quickly gained a cult following with their infectious brand of indie rock.

Combining heartfelt lyrics with catchy melodies, Mouse Rat's music is equal parts whimsical and emotionally resonant. Their debut album, "The Awesome Album," is a standout in their discography, with tracks like "5000 Candles in the Wind" and "Sex Hair" showcasing Andy's songwriting prowess and the band's tight musicianship.

However, Mouse Rat is not without their flaws. Andy's lack of musical training is apparent in some of the band's more experimental tracks, such as "Two Birds Holding Hands" and "Jazz Odyssey." While these songs may not be everyone's cup of tea, they speak to Mouse Rat's willingness to take risks and push the boundaries of the indie rock genre.

Overall, Mouse Rat is a true gem in the music industry, bringing joy and laughter to fans around the world. With their infectious energy and undeniable charm, it's no wonder why Mouse Rat has become a household name in Pawnee and beyond.
