The Tubes bring a rockin' and exciting performance to the South Shore Room at Harrah's, Friday, November 28, 2008.

 

The Tubes are perhaps best-known for epitomizing the hilarity of popular American culture, and making it into a theatrical stage parody and rock 'n roll extravaganza.  They were one of the pioneers of the rock video years before MTV became a household name.  They ridiculed the American materialistic values, superficial advertising methods and poked fun at religious fundamentalists and often questioned sexual taboos.  They took popular culture, made fun of it and turned it into entertainment.

 

Their concerts featured the ever-versatile Fee Waybill adopting a variety of larger-than-life personas ranging from the crippled Dr. Strangekiss, country singer Hugh Heifer, and his most infamous character, the legendary Quay Lewd  - an androgynous drug-inflicted British pop-star sporting an outrageous Ziggy Stardust blonde wig and two foot high platform boots.

 

The Tubes have always managed to expose, enlighten and entertain audiences worldwide by combining art with trash comedy, and innovative rock theater with consummate musicianship.  Their self-titled debut album was released in 1975.  The critically acclaimed album contained the classic tracks "White Punks on Dope," "Mondo Bondage" and "What Do You Want From Life."  It was followed by the album Young and Rich which featured the songs "Don't Touch Me There" and "Slipped My Disco."  Both albums introduced audiences to some of the most scathing satirical songs that ridiculed the hypocrisy of America.

 

Some other known tracks include "Don't Want to Wait Anymore" and "She's A Beauty". The later reached the Top Ten on the American Charts and pushed their album Outside/Inside into the Top 20 on the album charts.
