Pere Ubu November 26, 2006

"Pere Ubu burst upon the scene in 1975 and changed the face of music. For over [edited: 31] years they've defined the art of cult; refined the voice of the outsider; and influenced the likes of Joy Division, Pixies, Husker Du, Henry Rollins , REM, the Sisters of Mercy, Thomas Dolby, Bauhaus , Julian Cope and countless others. Pere Ubu make a music that is a disorienting mix of midwestern riff rock, "found" sound, analog synthesizers, falling-apart song structures and careening vocals. It is a mix that has mesmerized critics, other musicians and fans ever since." [Pere Ubu Official Bio]
