PERE UBU

www.ubuprojex.net

Pere Ubu is an experimental rock music group formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1975. Despite many long-term band members, singer David Thomas is the only constant. The group is named after P re Ubu ('father Ubu'), the protagonist of Ubu Roi ('Ubu, the King'), a play by French writer Alfred Jarry.

While Pere Ubu have never been widely popular usually categorized as'underground rock' they have a devoted following, have been hugely influential on several generations of avant-garde musicians and are a critically acclaimed American musical group. To define their music, Pere Ubu coined the term Avant Garage to reflect interest in both avant-garde music (especially Musique concr te) and raw, direct garage rock.
