"Teenage had a race for the night time
Spent my cash on every high I could find
Wasted time in every school in L.A."--"White Punks on Dope."

The San Francisco-based Tubes ("She's a Beauty," "Talk to Ya Later") were known for their over-the-top theatrical live performances and satirical songs. Before they became synonymous with their hit singles "Talk to Ya Later" and "She's a Beauty," it was the Tubes' eponymous debut album (with the FM singles "What Do You Want From Life" and "White Punks On Dope") that best defined the band. In concert, the band's lead singer, Fee Waybill, would transform himself into drugged-out glam rocker, Quay Lewd, to perform the late-70s anthem, "White Punks on Dope." In performing "What Do You Want From Life?" Waybill took on the persona of a game-show host (hawking microwave ovens, Dyna-Gyms, real simulated Indian jewelry, Gucci shoetrees, and even "a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams") and in performing "Mondo Bondage, leather-clad Waybill would simulate S&M with sultry backing singer Re Styles (while security for the band locked members from the audience in cages). It was all in good fun. In addition to Waybill and Styles, the Tubes consisted of Bill "Sputnik" Spooner (on guitar, vocals), Roger Steen (on guitar), Prairie Prince (on drums), Michael Cotten (on synthesizer), Vince Welnick (on piano), and Rick Anderson (on bass). (Welnick later joined the Grateful Dead.) Produced by legendary Al Kooper, The Tubes first album includes the following Tubes classics:

1. Up From The Deep
2. Haloes
3. Space Baby
4. Malaguena Salerosa
5. Mondo Bondage
6. What Do You Want From Life
7. Boy Crazy
8. White Punks On Dope
