From kitchen to screen: WA band's song features in new Jackass movie

A Western Australian punk rock band named Ratsalad had their song 'Southerly' featured in the Jackass movie 'Best and Last,' marking a significant milestone for the group. Initially skeptical, the band members believed the offer was a scam but later confirmed it was genuine after communication with the film's producers through their official Instagram account. The inclusion of their song, which humorously references Geraldton's unique wind conditions, came with an additional payment of $5,000. This achievement follows other successes for the band, including awards and a major European tour. Despite growing international recognition, the band remains deeply connected to their hometown of Geraldton, where they find greater support and personal connection compared to larger audiences abroad.
