Tubesnake

Our website is two years old today. Many thanks from all of us in Tubesnake for your continued support. Cheers!

Things are gonna be a little quiet on this site for the next couple of weeks due to holidays but we’ll be bursting back on the scene with six gigs in June. Out here we is stoned, immaculate. Check our Gigs page for details!

A very big thanks to everyone who turned out to the Tubesnake gig at The Lambton Hounds, Pity Me, on Sunday 3rd May 2009 which aimed to raise further funds for St.Cuthbert’s Hospice in Merry Oaks, Durham. The whole pub was packed, not just the gig room, and there was a truly fantastic atmosphere at […]

Catch us this weekend as we beam in on Sunderland’s Wheatsheaf (a first) and Birtley’s Mill House. Switch on the TV and pick us up on Channel 2.

By close of play today, midnight on the 2nd March 2009, we clocked our highest number of visitors in one day since the site launched on the 1st September 2007 … 104 visitors

Never mind The Ropery in Sunderland stopping live music (two gigs lost), just heard that The Pemberton Arms in Cold Hesledon, near Seaham has shut down altogether (four gigs lost). Win some, lose some! Snooze you lose!

Tubesnake have just accepted an invitation to play at this year’s Heart ‘n’ Soul Rally at Gosforth Racecourse at 8.15pm on Saturday 19th September 2009. This time we have been promoted from playing in the Silver Ring Bar as we did last September to doing a straight hour and a half set on the main […]

Third break for 2008. Two weeks this time while Chris da Bass revisits his Jamaican cousins on his third cruise of the year. Meanwhile the rest of us might scrape together enough cash to get a return train fare for a night out in Newcastle. Heh! Heh! Back on the road on 30th November at […]

¡Ay, Caramba! We’ve got a weekend off due to other commitments, seasonal illness, christmas shopping and the “Will to be Weird” but not necessarily in that order. Looking forward to a first appearance at The Royalty in Sunderland on the 14th November (used to drink there when I was a student at Sunderland Poly … […]

After two planned practice sessions were cancelled this week due to work committments, we’re looking forward to our gig at The Bonny Moorhen in Stanhope tomorrow at 5pm, Sunday 19th October 2008. Tom’s up in Glasgow this weekend checking out Tigers on Vaseline (Bowie Tribute) but he’ll be back tomorrow for a gig at one […]

Talk about small world experiences (S.W.E.’s). Stumbled across these October 2008 posts on a Dutch Guitar-Forum on the net. A newly formed rock covers band, called Tubesnake, are advertising for a bass-player who can practice once a week in the city of Kampen in the Netherlands: Rock Coverband Tubesnake uit Kampen zoekt bassist Hallo wij […]

Good to hear that The Clarendon in Sunderland has once again opened its’ doors to live music and we’re booked to play there on Sunday 26th October 2008 at 4pm. Bring it on!

One year ago today our website was launched so Happy Birthday to tubesnake.co.uk and many, many thanks to everyone who checks out the site and especially to those of you who have contributed your comments, photos and artwork. Rock on!

Second big break of the year and another three weeks off while Woody and Chris circumnavigate the globe.

The Beamish Mary Inn in No Place, Stanley. Historically, this pub is known for great food and real-ale (won many awards) and, at one time, for being an excellent MUSIC VENUE with bands twice a week. Music has not been a real feature at The Beamish for quite a while now, with just a handful […]

Great (big) venue this. Good stage for snake charmers. Dance Floor for boogaloids. Tons of room for ya’s to drink while ya sit, stand, lie down or fall over. Shed some skin and start your weekend with a bang. Come and see TUBESNAKE at The Daisy Hill, Sacriston, Friday 11th July, 2008. Gig starts at […]

Out and about in the meadows of Durham and Weardale this weekend. First time at The Victoria Inn in Cassop for us on Saturday night 14th June. A new venue is always interesting because you just don’t know what to expect. Try and get along to support us. Sunday, 15th June, we’re off to Stanhope. […]

While I was flitting around a very sunny North East dropping Tubesnake posters off at The Star Inn in Newcastle, then checking out the newly extended and refurbished Mill House at Birtley before finally popping into The Market Tavern in Chester-le-Street to enquire about future gigs; Tom had a Sunday afternoon warm-up spot at The […]
