The Tubes are a San Francisco-based rock band that used a mix of progressive rock theater, multimedia, and scathing social criticism of America's television culture. The original line up consisted of Fee Waybill (Vocals), Rick Anderson (Bass), Prairie Prince (Drums), Roger Steen (Guitar and Vocals), Bill Spooner (Guitar and Vocals), Vince Welnick (Keyboards), and Michael Cotten (Synthesizer), with Mingo Lewis (Drums and Percussion) and Re Styles (Vocals) expanding the lineup to nine members during their time on A&M Records. Their live performances were surreal vaudeville shows in which songs became full fledged production numbers.
