Listen Up!

Listen up reject planet, don't go comatose this is planet stomping music for the planet stomping troopers. Sounds from the galactic junkyard.

Sounds of horns that drift through the back alleys of our ghettos. Pulsing and pumping sounds from the trunks for lowriders. Like stories from the last living tree in this concrete jungle, stories from the elders delivered by a new generation . Polish your wheels rub it out, through the sounds ,souls and hearts of the youth. Mr. Tube's story must be told. It was the summer of 2002 when Paulo Zappoli ( from the black heart procession ) met with Freddie Dillinger, a.k.a. Mr. Tube. Within a couple years, Paulo got to knowing Freddieand learned some interesting history. In the 60 and 70's, Freddie Dillinger lead a band called Freddie Feelgood and the Real Good Feelings. This later morphed into Mr. Tube and his flying objectsall this time having written 100's of songs and yet never releasing a single album. Eventually, Paulo heard some live recordings of Freddie's and gradually persuaded him into the idea of recording some of these golden nuggets from years past -- Collector's Classics. Paulo agreed to reform a band that could do Mr. Tube's song's justice. Mr. Tube would write, arrange, re cord, and produce the ten songs at Paulo's Stereo Disguise Recording Laboratories using old and new equipment to capture the sound. It's 2006 and these songs were written between 1968 and 1979, lost classics and current chart breakers. These sounds carry on through the generations creating new astral planes like galactic poison floating in between the 68 planets. Undiscovered, undisturbed, undenied, unattainable, unheard, is now unveiled. Hold strong and listen up. The flying object plan on touring for this record and will bring these sounds to your local slum pit soon - leave yr weapons at the door and yr hearts in the gutter - Life is science fiction - punching planets with rubber fists - this universe is like a pinball machine and Mr. Tube making the music - all you have to do is put a quarter in and push play --
