Tub Ring was formed in 1992 by Jason Fields, Kevin Gibson, Chris "Mouse" Blake, and Geoff Valker as a high school experimental rock band.
Mr. Bungle guitarist Trey Spruance took note of Kleiner's passion and creativity and ended up producing their first official full-length album, Drake Equation.
Tub Ring performed two songs throughout the competition, including "Future Was Free" as well as a cover of Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body".
On October 31, 2016, an announcement was made on the Tub Ring Facebook page that they would be releasing the best of album and a brand-new EP in May 2017 backed by a Kickstarter campaign.
The band have toured frequently over the years and have shared the stage with acts such as: Pigface, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, The Birthday Massacre, Daiquiri, Estradasphere, Screaming Mechanical Brain, Foxy Shazam, Clutch, Southcott, Mindless Self Indulgence, Dog Fashion Disco, Framing Hanley, Black Light Burns, Horse the Band, Plain White T's, Kill Hannah, Wesley Willis, and more.
