pere ubu


Live Free or Diet. No stage light, just the tiny ones illuminating the text/scores. Half of the songs had their accompanying insane graphics. The other half were played in the dark. By a snapping drum-bass-guitar rock band with a vintage synthesizer. Fresh punk energy with a beautifull mature pre-Shellac sound. The ultimate (non)-rock concert. My best concert in many many years. David Thomas, the ultimate non-ego ego, selling his own cd’s after the show.
Pere Ubu was formed in 1975.
“I can drink, and you can’t
I can smoke, and you can’t
I can be David Thomas, and I can’t. “
