A photo of the Twelfth Doctor actor's post-punk band shows he also used to favour geeky neckwear.

Well, at least that's what this photo of post-punk band The Dreamboys (of which Peter Capaldi was the frontman) leads us to believe... This clipping comes from a 1981 issue of UK music weekly Sounds .

Peter Capaldi's band Dreamboys

The band had one solitary release: a 1980 single called "Bela Lugosi's Birthday" (a nod to Bauhaus's "Bela Lugosi's Dead", perhaps?) Is it better than Peter Davison's theme tune for Button Moon ? You can decide for yourself by listening to it below.

Frankly, the more we find out about Peter, the more we like him. Sorry Peter - grit your teeth, we'll probably run out of this kind of stuff soon.
