ARTISTS & PROGRAMMING
Peter and The Test Tube Babies formed near Brighton in 1978, a year after the punk explosion that would permanently change the musical landscape. Since then, this quartet has specialized in wacky songs with absurd lyrics, with a total lack of respect for everyone, and especially for themselves.
The group has released no fewer than thirteen albums, starting with the aptly titled *Pissed and Proud* in 1982, and culminating in *Fuctifano*, released in 2020, as their most recent production. But Peter and The Test Tube Babies remain, above all, a live band. For nearly fifty years, they have performed on every imaginable stage across the globe, from small, sold-out venues to the biggest festivals.
Pretty Much Average woke up late for work, with a nasty hangover and vague memories of the night before. So they skipped breakfast, laid down a heavy bassline accompanied by a drum groove enhanced by the cowbell. They wrapped it all up with guitars loaded with pitch-shifting, power chords, and semitones so the front girl could yell at her boss or the jerk who followed her home last night.
For their return to Rockerill, they come to present their brand new 45T "Stereotype" released on Rockerill Records!
They released their first LP in 2017, and another is in preparation.
Willy unfortunately passed away at the beginning of 2024, but according to his wishes and those of the other members of the group, the adventure continues with a new singer: Angie.
JOHNNY GUERRERO
Dub / Reggae / PunkAfter dragging his Nun Chaku across numerous stages around the globe with improbable and obscure Belgian groups, Johnny Guerrero, the "Elvince" of post-punk and dub, is back on the Rockerill stage... Hate & War!
