THE JEFFRIES TUBES
If classification was completely necessary, one could
simply describe The Jeffries Tubes as, "a Star Trek
tribute band". However, it would be impossible to
end the description there. Both humorous and
insightful, the duo perfectly blend the two seemingly
contradictory styles into one cohesive experience.
Although certain aspects of this experience can only
be fully understood by avid Star Trek fans (as
exemplified by the bands name), there are just as many
facets that those not interested in the show will
enjoy. The esoteric humor is combined with basic
hilarity, and the two balance flawlessly.
The Jeffries Tubes also defy any kind of singular
genre label; not because they see themselves as
undefinable, so much as simply because they tap into
so many different styles of music. Jeffries Tubes'
songs range from rap to emo, and cover a wide bevy of
other musical genres in between. The J-Tubes also
take great care when choosing a genre for each
character's song... Either they select a style that
suits the character perfectly, or find one that is
just inappropriate enough to be comical.
The Jeffries Tubes take exceptional
care in the creation of their songs. Instead of
loosely basing songs on a general character, style, or
feel of the chosen tribute—as many tribute bands do—The J-Tubes meticulously select each word to properly
represent the chosen situation. They feel that this is
the only way to accurately deserve the title of
"tribute band".
On their debut album, "Ten Forward", the 15 tracks
expertly express the entire series of Star Trek: The
Next Generation; each track corresponds to, and is
sung by, a character from the show. Through
exaggeration, the songs humorously depict actual
situations, relationships, and character traits.
And so, with their album, The Jeffries Tubes have set
off on their continuing mission to boldy go where no
band has gone before...
