DELVE INTO '12 WITH THE KUBE!
01-01-12
Happy 2012! Rubix Kube had a blast in 2011 with special guests: Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Colin Hay, MC Hammer, Naughty By Nature, Tony Hadley and of course, Bret Michaels! We were featured on MTV's My Life as Liz, Celebrity Apprentice and LIVE! with Regis and Kelly.
The Kube toured the country and hit new stages from Boston Harbor to
Arizona, and our weekly Saturday night shows at out home base Canal
Room, NYC, drew thousands of new fans from all over the world. We were
honored to welcome VIP fans from The New York Giants to Katie Couric.

We're in the recording studio with producers Ali Dee of Deetown (THEE go-to producer for Hollywood's silver screen) as well as the producing team Gary Lefkowith & Mike Rogers (Dee Lite, Reba McIntyre, Venga Boys, Chubby Checker). Stay tuned for upcoming national TV appearances on The Today Show, Celebrity Apprentice (again!), Discovery Channel, Sundance Channel

GUESTS this year that will make 2012 our gnarliest year ever! So please

2011: THE YEAR OF THE KUBE!
01-27-11
January
was a historic month of MONSTROUS proportions for The Kube! First we
kicked off 2011 by taking the sold-out Canal Room 'down under' with
surprise guest Colin Hay of MEN AT WORK.
The crowd was in awe to see the Grammy award-winner (who introduced
Vegemite to the U.S.) jam on his timeless hits "Land Down Under",
"Overkill" and "Who Can It Be Now?"
Then your own Rubix Kube held its hugest night ever last Saturday, with two Back-To-Back SOLD OUT SHOWS featuring icons DEBBIE GIBSON and TIFFANY.
We re-wrote history by bringing the two biggest 80's TEEN QUEENS on
stage together for the FIRST TIME . . . EVER! Debbie and Tiffany each
performed a few of their own solo hits with The Kube and then returned
for the finale to sing Journey's "Don't Stop Believing"! TOGETHER!! And
critics said it would never happen. Well, the song title says it all!
The
magic continued two nights later when Rubix attended the premiere of
Debbie and Tiffany's SyFy original movie, Mega Python VS. Gatoroid. The
band walked the red carpet with the dynamic duo at NYC's legendary
Ziegfeld Theatre and partied '80s style with Alan Thicke, Dustin
Diamond, Downtown Julie Brown and past Kube special guest Taylor Dayne.
Make sure to check out the movie on the SyFy network! Ginormous snakes
and alligators don't get bigger or better than this, and the world
finally gets that Deb/Tiff cat-fight they've been dying for all these
years! Check out pics and coverage from the entire month here on our facebook page. We pinched ourselves - it was real, and until now was only in our dreams!
See you later, alligators...

Flash & Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Melle Mel took the
stage with Rubix Kube on January 16th. The very first rapper in music
history to dub himself an MC, Melle Mel delivered his classic hits,
"The Message" and "White Lines" with Rubix Kube backing him up with
smooth vocals, funky beats and those famous, infectious bass lines. Not
before flexing his guns and inspiring the entire Canal Room crowd to
follow him in a dance/slide move, he charmed the sold out audience with
his inspirational raps and his classic old school style. Rubix Kube is
honored to have taken the stage with such a great man and true music
pioneer. It's a night the Kube and the fans in attendance will NEVER

Rubix Rocks Miley Cyrus' birthday party!
11-19-2009
Now
it can be told - we had to keep it strictly under our collective hat
until it happened, but now we\'re busting to tell our friends all about
it: this last Wednesday night, 11/18/09, Rubix Kube played a private
17th-birthday-party bash at our home base club, the Canal Room. The
guest of honor and birthday girl: none other than one of today\'s
hottest tv, movie and pop-music stars, Miley (Hannah Montana) Cyrus!
Turns out Miley\'s people had special-requested a set list focusing
exclusively on the \"hair-metal\" hard-rock genre of 80\'s music, and
we delivered, cranking up our regular set with a whole slew of
specially-prepared new tunes by the likes of Warrant, Skid Row, Poison
and Van Halen. Miley and her friends and family danced and rocked out
to the band non-stop all night long, and to our amazement she looked
like she knew all the words to every song! OH yeah, special on-stage
guests included our good friend Paulie Z from ZO2 and Axl Rob the
greatest faux-Axl-Rose to be seen and heard anywhere; but also American
Idol finalist and current star of the Broadway musical Rock Of Ages,
Constantine Maroulis, and two of his fellow \"Rock\" castmembers, Kelly
Butler and Tommy Kessler. Anyway we\'ll have some pics that Miley took
with us up in the photos section soon!
