A very special, one-time Pere Ubu is being assembled for dates in New York City on June 19 and Los Angeles on June 22. Mike Watt & The Missingmen are support in LA. Faust is a co-bill on the 19th. David Thomas can't have the Pere Ubu he wants in America so he'll make the Pere Ubu only he can imagine.
Pere Ubu’s music exploited new technology, and in the 1990s the band released hybrid CD-ROMs that blended music, video, and text. Signing with smaller record labels seemed to inspire the group, and Ray Gun Suitcase (1995) and Pennsylvania (1998) were viewed by many as worthy additions to the band’s critically acclaimed oeuvre.
