Untitled

Test Patterns for Living was the first release, an EP, by the Toronto-based [[New Wave (music)|] band Blue Peter. Released in 1979, it included the single "Factory Living" , which helped the band get their first radio airplay on CFNY.[2][3] The song "Same Old Place", later appeared on the compilation album, The Best of Ready Volume 1 :: 20th Century Masters — The Millennium Collection,[4] and in 2009 was included on the soundtrack[5] for the vampire/rock and roll movie Suck; the latter event led to Blue Peter performing in 2009 at the Toronto International Film Festival at Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto, for the film's premiere.[6]
