Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Here's a fun fact about seminal 80's band The Tubes -- their origins are in Phoenix. Tubes' founders Bill "Sputnick" Spooner and late keyboardist Vince Welnick were born and raised in Phoenix, playing in early high school bands before packing up shop, moving to San Francisco in the late 60's and eventually forming The Tubes. Most -- myself included -- only know The Tubes by their 1983 top 10 hit "She's a Beauty," yet they also had some success with "Talk To Ya Later" and "White Punks on Dope."
