    Artist description
    Test Tube Baby is THE eclectic band, bar none. From acoustic to ambient and from folk to frenzy, if you're into the melancholic, shape-shifting, experimental landscape - you'll groove on this band. Perfect for rainy days and drives through the desert, Test Tube Baby's debut album, "Splinters" is the meditative, yet jarring soundtrack for the life of amoebas, like you.With multi-media artist, artistic director and lead singer Brian Gross, previously of The STIFF Ensemble, and various solo efforts, TEST TUBE BABY combines artful lyrics with moody soundscapes, haunting and upbeat melodies, and even some addictive pop licks that will have you humming along.
