Pere Ubu burst upon the scene in 1975 and changed the face of music.
Over the years they've defined the art of cult, refined the voice of the outsider and influenced the likes of Joy Division, Pixies, Husker Du, Henry Rollins, REM, the Sisters of Mercy, Thomas Dolby, Bauhaus, Julian Cope and countless others.
Pere Ubu make music that is a disorienting mix of mid-western riff rock, "found" sound, analogue synthesizers, falling-apart song structures and careening vocals. It is a mix that has mesmerized critics, other musicians and fans ever since.
