Professor Ratbaggy is a sometime four-piece band based in Melbourne, Australia.
Steve Hadley, Bruce Haymes and Peter Luscombe would frequently play as The Casuals, as well as being members of Kelly's regular band.
[3] Professor Ratbaggy's songs are often instrumental and purely groove-based with reggae, dub and funk influences.
Professor Ratbaggy members and Shane O'Mara provided the original music for Lantana (2001) and are featured on the EMI soundtrack of the same name.
[6] With Kelly often busy with his solo career and work in film and TV composition, Professor Ratbaggy's live shows have all but ceased and their recorded output remains low; this is not to say that the concept has died and there remains a strong possibility of further playing and/or recording.
