FINALLY COMING BACK TO AUSTRALIA IN NOVEMBER 2024

In the year of our lord 1978 the 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 breath taking 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 to represent the United Kingdom at the historical MTV East/West party to celebrate the fall of the Berlin wall.

To celebrate the release of 'You', SKIPTONS are throwing a party at gaso upstairs with mates Pepper La Floyd and Left at the Avenue!
SKIPTONS are an indie rock outfit from Naarm/Melbourne, bringing a widely appreciated diverse range of tunes to Melbourne’s live music scene and a versatile energy and a roller coaster of emotions to their live sets. After 2 back to back releases in the first half of the year, SKIPTONS have taken the time in recent months to put together their most powerful song yet. Come along to Gaso Upstairs on 22nd November and celebrate the launch of this song, and the first headliner since May!
