The Tubes

Tubes is an American rock group that emerged in 1972, blending elements of hard rock, glam rock, and proto-punk into a distinctive arena rock sound. The band developed a reputation for theatrical performances and innovative approach to rock music during the classic rock era. Their work spans multiple decades and encompasses the broader traditions of American rock and pop-rock. The group's catalog was affected by the 2008 Universal fire, which destroyed a significant portion of their recorded materials held in the company's vaults.
