Peter and the Test Tube Babies were first featured in
Sounds magazine in July 1980, and after a
John Peel Radio One session, made their vinyl debut on the Brighton compilation album
Vaultage 78. In recent years the band has played at festivals including the 11th
Antifest in 2005. They also had two songs on the
Oi! compilation
Oi! the Album in that same year. They favoured absurd lyrics and strange titles, such as "The Queen Gives Good Blow Jobs". In 1982, they covered the chart-topping
Gary Glitter hit "
I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)" on their album
Pissed and Proud. When the band is not touring, Bywaters offers
English as a second language tuition on a live-in basis at his home in
Brighton. Strangefish currently hosts a punk rock radio show with Jimmy Skurvi of the
Brighton punk band, Skurvi, on Brighton's
Radio Reverb. The shows are also shown every week on his podcast page. In 2017, Bywaters was refused entry and deported from the US; he stated that this occurred because he had imitated
Donald Trump the previous year;
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said it was because he had the wrong visa. ==Members==
