Re Styles, who recorded and sang with The Tubes and contributed to their unique stage attire, has died. She was 72 and passed on April 17, according to multiple news accounts.
Born Shirley Macleod in the Netherlands in 1950, she modeled in Penthouse and Playboy, then moved on to appear in Alejandro Jodorowsky’s film The Holy Mountain and Sun Ra’s science fiction film Space is the Place.
She met The Tubes at an art school show, and quickly fell in with the troupe. By 1975, she was coordinating their clothes and stage maneuvers, while appearing onstage herself. In one memorable take, she appeared as heiress Patty Hearst. She would also dress in leather outfits and dance with lead singer Fee Waybill during the song “Mondo Bondage.” In 1979, she married Tubes drummer Prairie Prince.
Styles performed the female lead vocal on the Tubes hit “Prime Time” from the 1979 album Remote Control. She appeared...

For a movie in which the world could end at any moment, “Bill & Ted Face the Music” is awfully sweet and cheery.
And for that, we have to thank Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted “Theodore” Logan, who 30 years ago were the sweetest and cheeriest of teen heroes and are now hanging onto that into middle age. They’re not the smartest of heroes, of course, but they know what works for them: As Ted says at one point in this movie, “Maybe we should always not know what we’re doing!”
But “Bill & Ted Face the Music” does know what it’s doing, which is to preserve the essence of the characters played by Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves even as it dumps a most unpleasant midlife crisis and an even more heinous threat to reality as we know on their still-shaggy heads.

Even though he's the lead singer of the 1970's rock group The Tubes, Fee Waybill is best known for playing Lou Corpse -- opposite Diane Lane as Corinne Burns -- in the 1982 punk flick, "Ladies & Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains." Guess what he looks like now! Read more...

Rock 'n Roll Will Never Die! continues at Trailers from Hell, with filmmaker Ti West introducing "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains."Nearly a lost film, music maven Lou Adler’s cheerful 1982 film about an inadvertent punk band was shot under the title All Washed Up and was shelved after a disastrous preview, only to be revived on the art house circuit in 1985. At one point there was only one surviving print, which was frequently programmed at Santa Monica’s Nuart Theater. Diane Lane and Laura Dern are the not-so-fabulous Stains with various real life rockers (including Steve Jones, Paul Simonon and Fee Waybill) fleshing out their rival bands. Cinematography by Bruce Surtees, the Dp behind the majority of Clint Eastwood’s more iconic films.

Sometimes hitting the multiplex just isn’t in the cards. That’s when Netflix steps in to provide a movie fix. But how to separate the wheat from the chaff? I’m happy to help; every week I’ll pick a flick from the Netflix Watch Instantly section and see if it’s worth your time. This week? “Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains”.
Corinne Burns is a pissed off 15-year-old who lives in a small town in Pennsylvania, trying to start up an all-girls band. She and her bandmates (her sister Tracy and her cousin Jessica, aka Peg) get a big break when they manage to make their way onto a milk run of a tour by an aging metal band and their more talented opening punk rock act. As Corinne develops her on-stage persona, she amasses a cult of wannabes…but are The Stains a one-hit wonder or a true music phenomenon?...

There is something insanely romantic about a movie on a city rooftop. And I’m not just talking taking a hold of your girl’s hand. It’s the night air, the hint nostalgia for drive-in movies, and hopefully stars in the sky as well as the screen.

Most film fans have never seen 1981's "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains," the hard-charging, potent tale of an all-girl punk band's meteoric rise and fall, which featured supporting performances by members of the Sex Pistols and The Clash (and a young Ray Winstone, who played the lead singer of the Stains' tourmates The Looters). That's because Paramount Pictures never saw fit -- save for a couple of random screenings -- to give the film any sort of theatrical release, or even put it out on VHS. Yet despite the studio's attempts to forever shelve the film, it (like punk) wouldn't die, finding renewed life through bootlegs and airing on USA Network's "Up All Night," where frequent broadcasts of the film during the midnight shift helped turn it into a cult classic that would later influence, among others, future riot grrrl pioneers Courtney Love, Bikini Kill and...

The Tubes frontman Fee Waybill brought a colourful gig in Agoura Hills, California to a standstill on Friday night by paying a twisted tribute to late bandmate Vince Welnick.
The veteran rocker told fans at the Canyon Club he was still coming to terms with the keyboard player's 2006 suicide, and felt angry his old pal took his life before approaching his pals with his troubles.
Waybill explained, "He didn't come to us for help. I don't know whether to be p**sed off or sad."
He then dedicated I Don't Wanna Wait Anymore - a song Welnick wrote for The Tubes - as a tribute to the keyboard player.
Welnick, who also performed with Todd Rundgren and the Grateful Dead, died in Sonoma County, California at the age of 55.
