The demise of Pittsburgh, PA's Radio Beats has given rise to the Test Patterns. The band is lead by Radio Beats guitarist Dan along with his new wife Yago (of Japan's Gitogito Hustler). The group currently has two songs online including "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" with Yago covering vocals and the Dan-sung "In Time."

The band will record further after February, when Yago plans to move to the US. Shows are also in the works, with a gig scheduled for March 2nd at Pittsburgh's 31st Street Pub. An appearance at the Radio Heartbeat Powerpop Festival in Brooklyn is also in the cards. More details and future announcements can be found on the band's MySpace page.
