Peter & The Test Tube Babies – Adelaide show
Tue 19 Nov @ 7:00 pm
FINALLY COMING BACK TO AUSTRALIA IN NOVEMBER 2024
In the year of our lord 1978, some 17-year-old punks founded PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES in the small town of Peacehaven near Brighton. After a couple of rehearsals, they made their first recording ‘Elvis is Dead’, which appeared on the Vaultage ‘78 compilation of Brighton new wave bands.
Radio 1 DJ John Peel loved the song instantly and produced a John Peel session with the TEST TUBE BABIES. The success was breathtaking and PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES became one of the hottest unsigned bands in the UK overnight.
THE TEST TUBES BABIES played shows all over the world and cemented their status as one of the most brilliant and funniest live bands in punk rock culture. They also had the honour of representing the United Kingdom at the historical MTV East/West party to celebrate the fall of the Berlin wall.
Vinnies Touring is pleased to present PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES at the Cranker on 19 November, supported by:
Cull The Band
Chainsaw Preachers
The Hammer Horrors
Don’t miss your chance to see one of punk’s longest serving bands on their first tour of Australia in a very long time!
