Three years have passed since Peter Bywaters and his Test Tube Babies had been here last time in Munich. So it is about time, that the Punk rolls on again. Currently there ain't not many artists of that kind anyway touring Germany. I mean, there are actually enough Punkrockbands around, but not those original ones from that certain time, you know what I mean.... don't you.... At least Germany has been neclected lately. But now the Test Tube Babies are back with their gentle aggressive live philosophy of past days. And it seems, as time had stood still. Don't get me wrong, it is still somehow up to date and pretty fashionable. But first of all the V8 Wankers throw some explosives into the fire....
And I'm trying to be
early at the spot. I remember this lot very well, as they have recently
played as an opener for english all-girl rockband Girlschool and
american group Benedictum here in Munich. That was about 2 months ago. And it doesn't
happen very often, that I like the opener most of a band package. Things
like these, I don't forget. That's why I'm not late this time, to check
this german punkers out again and convince myself, that the first
impression 8 weeks ago was the right one. More infos to the V8Wankers
you get here.

Instead
we get a tuxedo and hat and Fred Flintstone designer clothes offered, a
true eyecatcher indeed. My camera is dancing a prima ballerina because
of so much photogenic extravaganca. Because as we say so, it's not just
the tune, it's also the eye consuming a bit of the cake. And in this
case it truly does get a lot of the icing, thanks to this original funny
outfit, where even Karl Lagerfeld would get jealous about.... And with a
decent Weissbeer Little Joe... eh sorry, Peter starts exploding, that
the floor gets almost folded. Within a second, all fans here have moved
their butts right in front of the stage and storm the Bastille. And from
that moment a normal photoshooting becomes impossible because of life-risk in
the so called mosh pit.
Yeesssss, this is Rock'n'Roll and all hearts beat some tunes faster. Inbetween the punk hymns, Peter entertains us with funny annekdotes and the fact, that the english national soccer team is the better team (according to the recent victory 1 : 1 against Germany) - I have to say: it was a pure coincident, that Rooney and Co have won once in a while....
Our adrenalin gets even
more pushed up with songs like: ‚Up yer bum’,
‚Banned
from the Pubs’, ‚Elvis Is Dead’ and ‚Spirit of Keith Moon’,
which takes us back
in a rebellish time where bands like the Test Tube Babies had tried to
rip up the conservative society. Nowadays these songs are purely meant
for entertainment and to build down the individual aggression and yes of
course, - build
up our good mood. And that's what it does. No more, no less.
