Pere Ubu
Pere Ubu is an American
rock group formed in
Cleveland, Ohio, in 1975. The band had a variety of long-term and recurring band members, with singer
David Thomas being the only member staying throughout the band's lifetime. They released their debut album ''
The Modern Dance'' in 1978 and followed with several more LPs before disbanding in 1982. Thomas reformed the group in 1987, continuing to record and tour.
Describing their sound as "avant-garage," Pere Ubu's work drew inspiration from sources such as
musique concrète,
60s rock,
performance art, and the
industrial environments of the American
Midwest. While the band achieved little commercial success, they have exerted a wide influence on subsequent
underground music.
