Sewer Trout has been played on NTS shows including Yesterday's News, with Rat Lore first played on 13 September 2017.

Sewer Trout was a Sacramento, California, United States punk band active in the period 1985-1990.

The band consisted of:

Jim MacLean, bass, vocals Hal MacLean, drums Keith Lehtinan, guitar

Erik Benson; joined Sewer Trout (him and Hal were both engineering students at Sacramento State) as their 4th member, and when his songs became too prog/fancy for Sewer Trout they became the Well Hung Monks. Hal says: "Erik played one show at the Place in Davis (Keith wasn't there), and Jim hated what Erik was doing to the songs".
