  Professor Ratbaggy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor Ratbaggy is a sometime four-piece band based in Melbourne, Australia.
Professor Ratbaggy's songs are often instumental and purely groove-based with reggae, dub and funk influences.
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 at just the one album; this is not to say that the concept has died and there remains a strong possibility of further playing and/or recording.
