Peter and the Test Tube Babies in Grimsby

Peter and the Test Tube Babies are an English punk band formed in Peacehaven in 1978 by singer Peter Bywaters and guitarist Del Strange. Their early records paired fast punk rock with irreverent humour, notably “Banned from the Pubs” and “The Jinx,” while Mating Sounds of South American Frogs became a central album in their catalogue. In 1982, the band supported The Clash on the UK Combat Rock tour. That period also produced Pissed and Proud, their live debut album, and Peter and the Test Tube Babies went on to tour clubs and punk festivals across Britain and mainland Europe. Their festival history includes repeated appearances at Rebellion Festival in Blackpool and performances at Punk & Disorderly in Berlin.
