Artist History
Formed 1992, hasn't changed all that much since. Periodically spews forth an unecessary batch of songs.
Of the two CDs available here at MP3.COM, "Blue Peter Comes Alive!" was a varied release of quirky pop songs recorded in 1998 and bears a resemblance to They Might Be Giants. By contrast, "Blue Peterschntizel Live at Budokan" turned out to be a ukulele themed album recorded in 2002. |
