PETER PERRETT (THE ONLY ONES) @ THE RUBY LOUNGE

Peter Perrett is an English singer-songwriter, best known as the frontman of the 70's rock band The Only Ones who split up in 1982 and reformed in 2007.

Prior to forming The Only Ones, Perrett had recorded material with England's Glory in 1973. So similar was his singing voice then to Lou Reed, that NME journalist Nick Kent thought he was listening to unreleased Velvet Underground material. Despite the band not releasing material at the time, an album of demos was released in 1987 due to interest in Perrett's next band The Only Ones.

Perrett formed The Only Ones in 1976. After self releasing their debut single Lovers Of Today, the band signed to CBS Records and released three albums The Only Ones, Even Serpents Shine and Baby's Got A Gun before splitting up in 1982.

Perrett finally re-emerged in 1994 with a new band called The One. The band released their debut EP Cultured Palate via their manager's record label Dwarf Records, before signing to Demon Records and releasing their debut album Woke up Sticky in 1996

The Only Ones reformed in 2007 following the use of Another Girl Another Planet in a Vodaphone advertising campaign and a subsequent request to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties Festival in Minehead. The band first played a short UK tour in April and June of that year, and continued performing as far afield as Japan through to 2009.

After performing with The Only Ones in Japan in 2014 without drummer Mike Kellie, Peter returns for a special show at The Ruby Lounge.
