Pere Ubu, Sat 13th April

Feb 13, 2013

Posted by Stuart Huggett

Formed in Cleveland, Ohio in the mid-70s, Pere Ubu’s long career at the avant garde end of rock has thrown up innovative, synthesiser strewn music, ambitous theatrical productions and dense, obtuse lyrics from frontman, and sole constant member, David Thomas. Pere Ubu’s new album ‘Lady From Shanghai’ is described as the group’s attempt to ‘fix’ dance music, an unsettling concoction of film noir influences and thick, abstract electronics. Definitely get there in time for support band Variety Lights, a rarely seen group formed by original, long lost Mercury Rev vocalist David Baker.

Stuart Huggett grew up in Hastings, writing fanzines and blogs about the town’s underground music scene. He has been a regular contributor to SOURCE, NME, The Quietus and Bowlegs. His huge archive of magazines, flyers and vinyl is either an invaluable research tool or a bloody pain. He occasionally runs tinpot record label Dizzy Tiger, DJs sporadically and plays live even less.
