Biography
There is more than one group called the Tubes.
1) The Tubes are a San Francisco-based theater rock band, popular in the mid 1970s and early 1980s, known for their live performances that combined music performances with many different unique costumes and in some acts they wore
leotards with painted on nipples and pubic hair (neither of which points are relevant for evaluating their artistic/musical/political relevance).
They made satires of life in the USA; the media, consumerism, and politics. They were often banned in the Midwest USA.
