The Killing Moon (1984)

Tonight, Sunday 1st May 2011, we’re playing at The Stables Bar, in the grounds of Beamish Hall. Been a great day so far with all this sun and blue sky but if you fancy rounding it off with a bit of Tubesnake Boogie in some very impressive surroundings then we’ll see ya later. Gig starts 8.30pm.

You’ve got free entry to the Crook FC Mini Rock-Fest on Sunday 24th April 2011.

The event opens at 5pm and features three bands who will perform inside the clubhouse.

First up … Propa-Ganda

Next … The Bandits

Finally … Tubesnake

COME ON !!!

Our planned gig at The Clarendon in Sunderland on Sunday, 17th April 2011 has had to be cancelled due to Chris on bass receiving rather a large number of stitches in one of his playing hands. Tom, from Tubesbake, has filled the gap with his other band, The Brothel Creepers. They play an eclectic mix of pumped-up cheese apparently and the gig kicks off around 4pm so why not go check ‘em out.

Buffalos Rock Night. We had a class gig at The Comrades Club, Houghton-le-Spring tonight, Friday 8th April 2011. Great atmosphere from a very appreciative crowd.

She’s In Parties (1983)

Andalucía

Comfortable flats and broad brimmed hats
Fresh pilgrims discover the new land
Beach women bask beneath azure skies
Young girls shimmer in silk-like poses
Some wear shells from deepest seas
You can see Africa on a clear day

Strange tongues whisper on the breeze
Hear the sound of laughing children
Dead bird bones bleach in the sun
Shabby old men sit smoking
Faces like the bark of old olive trees
Ancient mountainous landscape watches over

Fragrance exotica drifts over scorched sands
Seek shady havens to quench your thirst
Partake while taking in the view
Vivid blue meets gold before you
Hungry eyes dine on the visual feast
This is a land of ancient beauty

Seductive music heard in the distance
Makes you sway with childlike joy
Birds swoop and dance upon the horizon
Patient fisherman stands alone
This is a land of ancient beauty
You can see Africa on a clear day
