PATSY’S RATS Rock ‘n’ roll friends. Wesley Powell
The rock ’n’ roll power couple trope is a bit worn-out, but whatever strange alchemy is afoot with Patsy Gelb and Christian Blunda of Patsy’s Rats, it’s working.
“[There’s] a challenging dynamic to the creative process that we are forever learning from,” says Gelb, who shares guitar/vocal duties with Blunda. “I’m not sure if that has to do with us being in a relationship, or if it’s just the nature of having two people write for one band.”
“I can confidently say that our best songs are the ones where she and I were able to collaborate and encourage each other’s ideas,” adds Blunda. “We spend a lot of time together, so there’s that.”
