THE TUBES FEATURING FEE WAYBILL
Greetings!
From humble beginnings in Phoenix, Arizona to the streets of San Francisco
THE TUBES were catapulted into Rock and Roll’s limelight in the mid 1970’s and
made there most memorable mark on Rock history througho
ut the ‘70’s and ‘80’s
with such classic rock staples as White Punks On Dope, What Do You Want
From Life, Mondo Bondage, Don’t Touch Me There, Sushi Girl, Talk To Ya Later
and their Number 1 Billboard hit She’s A Beauty. No matter how memorable THE
TUBES r
ecordings were, the lifeline of the band has always been their live
performance. From the exuberant and imaginative to the outrageous, THE
TUBES continue to perform for hordes of fans throughout the world. The current
line up of THE TUBES (still retaining
four original members) consists of the
enigmatic and unforgettable vocalist Fee Waybill, the elusive guitarist Roger
Steen, the solid bass playing of Rick Anderson, the legendary Prairie Prince on
drums
, and keyboardist
David Medd. THE TUBES didn’t invent
the idea of rock &
roll as theater, but they have certainly thrived on the concept. Few bands have
had a more entertaining and over the top live show than THE TUBES. Their
influence can be seen in many of the visually oriented groups of today such as
The R
ed Hot Chili Peppers, Marilyn Manson and others. Though they may have
been ahead of their time in the eighties, they haven’t lost a step and continue to
reinvent themselves. In a world where visual stimulation is king, THE TUBES are
right at home and maste
rs of their domain. They’ve been recognized not only as
a great band to watch, but a great band period! They continue to write clever,
provocative material as heard on their most recent critically acclaimed release
Genius Of America and continue to add to
their body of work with DVD/Video
releases from their live shows including The Tubes World Tour and the 2005
release Wild In London. T
HE TUBES have just celebrated 40 years in the
business and released a live DVD/CD package from a show in Bremen Germany
in
the early 80’s. They are about to begin a massive European tour followed by
dates in the US in 2017
. Though their roots are steeped in the classic rock
they’ve created, THE TUBES continue to innovate, evolve and ignite, no matter
where they go
