Peter & the Test Tube Babies的艺人档案
by Jason Ankeny
Brighton, England punk survivors Peter and the Test Tube Babies formed in 1978; soon debuting on the Vaultage 1978 compilation, the group — singer Peter Bywaters, guitarist Derek Del Greening, bassist Chris Trapper Marchant and drummer Nicholas Ogs Loizides — nevertheless did not issue their first proper single Banned from the Pubs until 1982, firmly establishing their tongue-in-cheek approach with the follow-up Run Like Hell. Subsequent singles including Zombie Creeping Flesh and The Jinx preceded the 1983 release of the Test Tubes first full-length effort, Pissed and Proud; The Mating Sounds of South American Frogs appeared just weeks later, topping the UK indie charts. 1986s Soberphobia was the Test Tubes first American release, but the group was silent for the remainder of the decade, finally resurfacing in the early 1990s with little-heard efforts including Cringe and THE|$HIT|FACTORY?The $Hit Factory. Eighteen years after the groups inception, co-founders Trapper and Ogs left the lineup following the completion of 1995s Supermodels; bassist A.D. and drummer Rum signed on for 1998s Alien Pubduction, followed two years later by The Final Nail.
