Do Your Part For The Tubes

It's an SOS from The Tubes: Michael Cotten, one of the the founders of the awesomely odd local band, is cutting together a documentary. But he needs footage and pictures -- so that's where you come in. Were you around in the late 70s and 80s? Do you have any Tube-related media? Michael's looking for photos and super-8 of his band's performances. You can get in touch with them via the documentary's website; then sigh dreamily and relive the glory days by watching their appearance in the "Dancin'" number in Xanadu.

After the jump: video of The Tubes' appearance at Bimbo's, here in SF in 1976; and another surprising interpretation of "Dancin'."
