07.05.08 Hey all, I just add a gig to the Live page. Kami Nixon has a full band gig in the south bay, in a few weeks to mark your calendars!

06.28.08 Greetings All! Just a short note by way of excuse and apology. It turns out our dependable email program is not so dependable. Seems it has a lousy habit of corrupting the database. After 3 rebuilds in as many days so many emails suddenly appeared that we'd never seen (and some years old!) and others we'd responded to but now shown we'd not. Long story short if you've sent an email and never received a response please resend! We do our best to respond to all email and if you didn't get one, there is a good chance our trusty email program ate it!

06.08.08 We've got a few items we're selling from the studio on eBay. If you're in the market for a compact control surface (mixer) that's american made and built like a tank one of these (or both) just might be what your looking for. They are in excellent working order and would be a great addition to your DAW.

09.29.07 The AZ Hall of Fame induction was a good time. Thanks to all the folks that flew and drove and walked to be there with Bill and the band. I know they were all very touched by the whole event. A lot of friends and family. Prairie got hugged so much he smelled like a perfume counter. :D

Boone took some photos and and I've uploaded them to the Tubes yahoo group, so head on over an check it out THE TUBES YAHOO GROUP

09.01.07 Holy Email SNAFU Batman! It looks like the Entourage has let us down. Got an alert that the "database" was corrupt and needed to be repaired. So I repaired and Holy Cow emails started showing up from months and months ago that never arrived at that time. Long story somewhat shortened... If you sent an email and didn't get a response please do resend, there is a good chance we didn't get it in the first place. Thanks for your understanding. :)

08.26.07 For Bill's birthday we went the Squeeze show at the Mountain Winery (beautiful venue) with our good friends Jimmy and Gail. What a show! Fountains of Wayne opened, great poppy band. Bill got to renew friendships with long ago tour mates Glenn Tilbrook, Chris Difford and John Bentley. They are a killer live band and the songs are just amazing. Topping it off they are really good people. It was a great. If you have chance to Squeeze do what it takes to get there and you will be amply rewarded with hooks, hooks and more hooks!

08.25.07 Here's Arizona Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame ticket info you've been asking for: Tickets go on sale Tuesday (8/28) at 10AM through Ticketmaster or the Dodge Theatre. Prices: $10/$15/$25

07.31.2007 - I know it seems awful quiet around here, but looks can be receiving. ;) Anyhoo, for all those that been wanting to know tickets for the AZ induction ceremony will be going on sale in the next week or so. Get your tix at the Dodge Theatre, or online at Live Nation or Ticketmaster. We'll see ya there!

06.09.2007 - There is going to be an induction ceremony into the Arizona Hall of Fame and all surviving members of Tubes will be performing together. It's in September and I'll post more details as we get closer to the date.

06.02.2007 - Missing you Vinnie.

04.28.2007 - I've done a few updates here and there around the site. Just little stuff, mostly. Bill has added a new or I should say returning axe to the arsenal. It's not Gumby, but as good as! Maybe that's only of interest to the hardcore. Anyway I am pretty stoked about it, see it on the gear page.

Another bit of interest Bill's been asked to do a tune with the Groove Division at the Evening with Max Weinberg show at the Throckmorton Theater in Mill Valley on Monday 4/30. Prairie is the drummer for Groove Division. To find out more about Groove Division and the evening visit the 142 Throckmorton Theater's website.

03.13.2007 - It's all bangin' and twangin' these days. I'd swear there are more than 7 days in a week with all the musical mayhem that coming out of this place. Whether he's producing, engineering, writing, playing, or singing Bill is in it up to his elbows. The album is coming along slowly. Bill and Boone have set a target date for completion, but I won't mention it. Don't want to jinx it. As things get further along I'll see if the boys will let me post some rought tracks. I don't know though, they are all about surprises. You all just may have to wait for the finished product.

I want to say a quick thank you to the folks that check in on Bill's progress and send him their support. He really appreciates it. Since he's been devoting his time to the album and studio and not playing out a lot it's great to have the internet to keep in contact with as Bill would say "my people". Especially you folks far and away from the SF Bay Area. Keep those "cards and letter" coming!

01.26.2007 - Just a quick note to let you know Boone's done a site overhaul... check it out BOONESPOONER.COM

01.15.2007 - Bill had a bunch of fun sitting in with Beth Waters at her CD release party on Saturday. Here's a little pic of the festivities. Bill played ukulele on a track on Beth's new CD, This Little Piggy. Check it out at BETH WATERS.COM.

01.01.2007 - HAPPY NEW YEAR! Start the year off right by coming out to the Songwriter's Café next Friday (Jan. 5th). You'll be supporting local songwriters and if you enjoy a glass of wine while you listen you'll be supporting GUITARS NOT GUNS, a fine organization that provides guitars and guitar lessons to foster children and at risk youth.
