After a couple of rehearsals they made their first recording<strong> \u2018Elvis Is Dead\u2019<\/strong> which appeared on the \u2018<strong>Vaultage \u201878\u2019<\/strong> compilation of Brighton new wave bands. Radio 1 DJ <strong>John Peel<\/strong> loved the song instantly and offered the band a live session. The success was breathtaking and <strong>PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES <\/strong>became one of the hottest unsigned bands in the UK overnight.<br> \u00a0<br> Their first single <strong>\u2018Banned From The Pubs\u2019<\/strong> followed fast, and fans and press freaked out in equal measure. From that moment everything went crazy; sold out concert halls in England and Europe and their big success in the media pushed their debut album \u2018<strong>Pissed And Proud\u2019<\/strong> to <strong>#1<\/strong> in the U.K. independent charts. Directly after that, their 2<sup>nd<\/sup> album \u2018<strong>The Mating Sounds Of South American Frogs\u2019<\/strong> was released in 1983 \u2013 a must-have for every record collection \u2013 and sold more than 100,000 copies, resulting in invitations to perform from far and wide. <strong>THE TEST TUBES BABIES<\/strong> have continued to play shows all over the world and cemented their status as one of the most brilliant and funniest live bands in punk rock culture. A few bass players and drummers have served their time in the band, but the songwriters <strong>Peter<\/strong> and <strong>Del<\/strong> have always remained the foundation and together they wrote and recorded a long list of classic albums like \u2018<strong>Soberphobia\u2019 (1986)<\/strong>, and the brilliant \u2018<strong>Supermodels\u2019 (1995)<\/strong>.<br> \u00a0<br> In <strong>2018<\/strong> <strong>PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES<\/strong> signed with <strong>Arising Empire Records <\/strong>recruiting <strong>Nick Abnett<\/strong> and <strong>Sam Fuller<\/strong>\u00a0on bass and drums respectively resulting in their now critically-acclaimed album <strong>\u00bbThat Shallot\u00ab <\/strong>which went on to receive 4 and 5 Star reviews worldwide.<br> \u00a0\u00a0<br> Fast forward to the present day\u2026. Against all\u00a0odds the band have pulled the rabbit out of the hat and come up trumps again with their best record to date the 14-track <strong>\u00bbFUCTIFANO\u00ab<\/strong> (a phrase you may hear from a Scotsman whilst asking for directions \u2018F***ed If I Know\u2019). The first single is the high-energy track \u2018<strong>Facebook Loser\u2019 &#8211;<\/strong> a sad tale of the insane world of a Facebook addict (we all know one). While the second single is accompanied by an amazing video for \u2018<strong>Queen of F***ing Everything\u2019 <\/strong>filmed by Mark Richards who directed the <strong>\u2018Crap Californian Punk Band\u2019<\/strong> video which is currently at 80,000 hits on YouTube.<br> \u00a0<br> On the <strong>6<sup>th<\/sup> March 2020 <\/strong>punk rock legends <strong>PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES<\/strong> are proud to present to you their latest and greatest set of recordings <strong>\u00bbFUCTIFANO\u00ab <\/strong>released on<strong> Arising Empire.<\/strong><br> <br> <br> <strong>PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES\u00a0<\/strong>are:<br> <strong>Peter Bywaters <\/strong>| Vocals<br> <strong>Derek \u201eDel\u201c Greening <\/strong>| Guitar<br> <strong>Nick Abnett <\/strong>| Bass<br> <strong>Sam Fuller <\/strong>| Drums<br> <br> &#8212;<br> <strong>More info<\/strong>:<br> http:\/\/www.testtubebabies.co.uk\/<br> https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PeterAndTheTestTubeBabies<br> https:\/\/twitter.com\/testtubes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UK punk legends PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES are back with\u00a0their latest and greatest&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12408,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[839,290],"class_list":["post-12407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-peter-and-the-test-tube-babies","tag-punk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12407"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12407\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12409,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12407\/revisions\/12409"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
