Pere Ubu To Release New Album And Perform At Eric’s In 2013.

Pere Ubu have often been described as the most original and important of the new wave bands. The experimental rock group formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1975. Despite many long-term band members, singer David Thomas is the only constant.

David Thomas is a writer, singer, songwriter, actor, producer and director within the self-proclaimed genre of the Avant-Garage. Founder of two legendary bands, Rocket From The Tombs and Pere Ubu, and a multitude of musical collaborations, including David Thomas and two pale boys, he is credited with rewriting the rules of both popular and experimental music since 1975.

He is called the Clark Kent of Soul, however for those in the U.K. that haven’t had the pleasure of this young man’s work yet, it is perhaps easier to say he is perhaps the most exciting American Soul singer/musician since the days of the irreplaceable Marvin Gaye. Not so much a superhero but a wonderful talent that justifies being included alongside in the pantheon of Soul greats and his latest album the sensational On The Rebound keeps that label intact.
