Pere Ubu

Pere Ubu, Bush Hall Review - Terminal Americana

NXNE club shows are a real treat in the sense that you get a rare chance to fully interact with gem acts.

With the singer sounding like a man driven to the edge of reason the band’s hurtling angular siren-shrieking rumble sounded like it was recorded during a police incident.

Tonight, however, frontman David Thomas does it for us, narrating the tale by which Ubu became one of the world’s biggest groups, while contemporaries like Madonna and Aerosmith languished in obscurity, eking out a living on the club circuit.

This was my first thought when I heard about the show, however Pere Ubu have a musical pedigree unrivalled by the majority of bands.
