Hello Tubes Fans,

We've added another great clip to the Tubes Project youtube site, check out The Tubes and Cowboy Fee performing "El Paso." This clip also features the lovely Re Styles in a supporting role.

Fun Facts:

*The "Mondo Birthmark" cover, designed by Michael Cotten and Prairie Prince, features a vintage photo of Re, you could say it's a prequal to "The Tubes" and "Young and Rich" album covers!

*You can preview songs and download the new Tubes CD "Mondo Birthmark NOW at itunes! 

*The new Michael Jackson movie "This is It" is in theaters now, you can preview a clip here...

This clip features Michael Cotten's CGI production animations for the show including the "Light Man" suit and of course Tubes choreographer Kenny Ortega! Tubes Fans, this movie is not a sleazy reality show nightmare but a behind the scenes look at how Michael Jackson created his final stage show with Mike and Kenny. This is Michael Jackson's version of a Tubes show; video, dancers, props- This is it!

Thank You!
TTP

Hi Tubes Fans,

We've added another clip of Jesus Bongo and the early Tubes performing a special rock medley, check it out. The band often played the biker bars of Santa Cruz back in the day and got the Hell's Angels dancing to these classic tunes, watch or else...

Hey Tubes Fans,

Thank you for the great response to "Mondo Birthmark", in honor of your kind efforts to push the new Tubes CD to the top of the charts, dig this video gem featuring Jesus Bongo and the boys in a rip roaring version of "Let's Do It."

You might notice the sound of not one, but two drummers, which of course is the "Golden Boy" himself, Bob Macintosh!

From the "Mondo Birthmark" liner notes...

“It’s about how horny you are when you’re 20, 21, 22…” – Bill Spooner

“As inspiration, we listened to Lambert, Hendricks and Ross.” – Prairie Prince

“We used to get everybody dancing. And when everbody’s out on the floor, we’d whip into this one and it would keep people out on the floor and people would be swinging around and jumping. It was something to keep people moving.” – Roger Steen
