Thick Tubes had a humble beginning in the late 1990's as a cover band. After several lineup changes, the band released its debut CD, Thick Who?, in August 2001. The band successfully promoted their CD while receiving airplay in Honolulu with the Led Zeppelin remake, D'yer Maker. This release held the #1 spot on FM98.5's “Hot 8 at 8”. In addition, their original music received extensive radio play on Kauai, Maui and the Big Island. In May 2003, Todd Lee (lead guitar) left the band followed by the departure of Ata Banaticla (drums) in June 2004. Darin and Dave stepped into their shoes, adding new energy to this already successful band.

Thick Tubes fans from Honolulu to Maui to California and as far away as New York City and Spain have asked for the long-awaited follow-up CD with 15 original tracks. Fans weren't disappointed when the CD was released in September 2005. In the meantime, listeners can hear Thick Tubes music on television (OC16's Heroes), the radio, independent films, and on various tv/radio commercials.

Thick Tubes always looks forward to the next show when they can put forward positive music with a positive vibe; their fans dancing and having a good time with friends. The only question left to ask is, “Tubie or not tubie?”
