John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

SST

S.S.T. or SST (also known as Sandra, Susanne, Tanja ) was a German all female sibling pop-rock band from Wiehl, Germany. They were active between 1984 and 1992. The band completed concerts and various German TV appearances and released several records. Most of their records were in German, written mainly by Tanja Trümmel, the eldest of the three sisters and dealt mainly with youth issues, everyday worries, love, school, etc., but also politics and environmental protection. The band name was composed of the first letters of the first names of the three band members, the sisters Sandra, Susanne and Tanja Trümmel, who were only 15, 13 and 9 years old when they released their first single, Tu Tu, in 1986.

Peel received a copy of their record in 1988 and after playing their song Universe briefly on his 18 April 1988 show, which was an English language track, talking about the dangers of nuclear weapons, he mentioned sarcastically that they were left wingers:

"Obviously loony lefties, we don't want this kind of subversive thing on the radio that's for sure. Of course, I rather hoping being called S.S.T., they were someway inspired by the label of that name, but quite clearly nothing of the sort, it's Sandra, Susanne and Tanje, members of the band, but I should listen to the rest of it anyway in the privacy of my own home of course"
