THE TUBES TONIGHT (Monday 28th)

 
 
THE TUBES AT SOUTH PARADE PIER TOINGHT (28th  Nov.)
 
After  The Tubes stunnig 2004 performance during thier "Wild West  Show" 
tour, San Francisco's finest satirical rock band are back at South Parade  Pier 
toinght , as part of their "Cabinet O' Curiousities" tour. 
 
 This is only the second time the band have appeared in the Portsmouth  area, 
after the infamous incident when one of the band's first U.K concerts in  
Portsmouth in 1978 was banned. Due to be held on Rembrance Day  1978,   
Portsmouth council - totally misreading the tongue  in cheek theatrical aspect of the 
shows -  bowed to pressure from the  British Legion, and cancelled the gig 
scheduled for  Portsmouth  Guildhall. 
 
The Tubes went on to sell out an amazing five-night engagement  at  London's 
Hammersmith Odeon, where the stunning live concert album,  'What Do You Want 
From Live'  was recorded.  
The Tubes are one of the most exciting, in-your-face  tight-knit group of 
musicians of all time.  Their live shows  involve mock bondage rituals, simulated 
sex, 12-foot high rock stars,   exploding televisions, chainsaws and an array 
of semi-clad dancers - 15 years  ahead of Madonna, and light years ahead of 
the politically correct.  
Expect to hear the classic tracks 'White Punks On Dope', 'Mondo  Bondage', 
'What Do You Want From Life',    'Don't Touch Me  There', Taslk To Ya Later'   
and many more tonight!!!    
THE TUBES appear at South Parade Pier on Monday  28th November - doors open 8 
p.m. Tickets will be on sale on the  door
