FINALLY COMING BACK TO AUSTRALIA IN NOVEMBER 2024
In 1978, 17-year-old punks founded PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES in Peacehaven near Brighton. Following a few rehearsals, they recorded their first song, "Elvis is Dead," featured on the Vaultage ‘78 compilation of Brighton new wave bands.
The track quickly gained recognition, catching the attention of Radio 1 DJ John Peel, who produced a session for the band. Their success skyrocketed, and they became one of the hottest unsigned acts in the UK.
