David Lynn Thomas (born 1953 in Miami Florida) is an American Singer, Songwriter, and Musician. The group is named after Père Ubu ("father Ubu"), the protagonist of Ubu Roi ("Ubu, the King"), a play by Frenchman Alfred Jarry. The Protagonist or main character is the central figure of a story. Ubu Roi (King Ubu is a play by 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. Underground music refers to a variety of post-1960s rock pop or dance subgenres that developed a Cult following despite their lack of Mainstream appeal visibility A cult following is a group of fans devoted to a specific area of Pop culture.

Critical opinions of Pere Ubu include: "the most original and important of the new wave bands" [2]; "the world's only expressionist Rock 'n' Roll band" [3] and: "Pere Ubu will be looked back on as the most important group to have come out of America in the last decade and a half. New Wave is a Rock music genre that existed during the late 1970s and the 1980s Expressionism is the tendency of an artist to distort reality for an Emotional effect it is a subjective art form The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Either that or they will be entirely forgotten"[4].

Pere Ubu refuses to discuss or explain their enigmatic music, forgoing press interviews. They have compiled a list of guidelines for touring, live performances and the like: "Lighting should be theatrical rather than rockist. Theatre (or theater, see spelling differences) is the branch of the Performing arts defined by Bernard Beckerman as what "occurs when one We are interested in atmosphere, mood, drama, energy, subtlety, imagination—not rock cliché[5].

World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including

To define their music, Pere Ubu coined the term Avant Garage to reflect interest in both experimental avant-garde music (especially Musique concrète) and raw, direct blues-influenced garage rock. Avant-garde (avɑ̃gaʁd in French) means "advance guard" or "vanguard Musique concrète ( French; literally "concrete music" is a style of Avant-garde music that relies on recorded sounds including natural The Blues is a vocal and instrumental form of Music based on the use of the Blue notes It emerged as an accessible form of self-expression Thomas has stated "Avant Garage" is "a joke invented to have something to give journalists when they yelp for a neat sound bite or pigeonhole".

History

1970s

Rocket From The Tombs was a Cleveland-based group that eventually fragmented: some members formed The Dead Boys, while David Thomas and guitarist Peter Laughner joined with guitarist Tom Herman, bass guitarist Tim Wright, drummer Scott Krauss and synthesist Allen Ravenstine to form Pere Ubu in 1975. Rocket From the Tombs (or RFTT) was an American Rock music band originally active from mid- 1974 to mid-1975 in Cleveland Ohio. The Dead Boys were an American Punk rock band from Cleveland Ohio. David Lynn Thomas (born 1953 in Miami Florida) is an American Singer, Songwriter, and Musician. The guitar is a Musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles Peter Laughner ( August 22 1952 &ndash June 22 1977) was an American guitarist songwriter and singer Tom Herman is a Guitarist and Composer.

[8]

Pere Ubu's debut single (their first 5 records were singles on their own "Hearthen" label) was "30 Seconds Over Tokyo" (inspired by the "Doolittle Raid" and named after a film depicting the raid), backed with "Heart of Darkness"; followed by "Final Solution" in 1976. The Doolittle Raid, 18 April 1942, was the first air raid by the United States to strike the Japanese home island of Honshū One review noted that "30 Seconds" "was clearly the work of a garage band, yet its arty dissonance and weird experimentalism were startlingly unique. Experimental music is a term introduced by composer John Cage in 1955 "[9]

Of their second single, "Final Solution" (backed with "Cloud 149"), one scribe writes that Ubu's "call for a 'final solution' was the cry of teen angst run down in the decaying rust belt of America, and unlike the British punks who were looking around England the same year, seeing no future, and hating what they saw, Ubu reveled in it. Angst is a German word for Fear or Anxiety. ( Anguish is its almost entirely synonymous Latinate equivalent "[10] (They would rarely perform this song after some listeners misinterpreted it as being associated with the Nazi final solution. Nazism, which was a short name for National Socialism (Nationalsozialismus refers primarily to the Ideology and practices of the National Socialist German The Final Solution ( Die Endlösung) was Nazi Germany 's plan and execution of its systematic Genocide against European Jewry during World )

From these first recordings, Pere Ubu sounded like little else. Their propulsive rhythmic pulse was similar to Krautrock, but Thomas's yelping, howling, desperate singing was and still is peculiar when compared to most other rock and roll singers. Rhythm (from Greek ῥυθμός - rhythmos, "any measured flow or movement symmetry" is the variation of the length and accentuation of Krautrock is a generic name for the Experimental music scene that appeared in Germany in the late 1960s and gained popularity throughout the 1970s especially in Britain

In their songs, Pere Ubu imagined 1950s and 1960s garage rock and surf music archetypes as seen in a distorting funhouse mirror, emphasising the music's angst, loneliness and lyrical paranoia. Surf music is a Genre of Popular music associated with Surf culture, particularly Orange County and other areas of Southern California An archetype ( pronounced: /ˈɑːkɪtaɪp/ (Brit or /ˈɑrkɪtaɪp/ (Amer Angst is a German word for Fear or Anxiety. ( Anguish is its almost entirely synonymous Latinate equivalent Lyrics (in singular form Lyric) are a set of words that accompany music either by speaking or singing Paranoia is a disturbed thought process characterized by excessive Anxiety or Fear, often to the point of Irrationality and Delusion. Sometimes sounding like a demented nursery rhyme sing-along, this already bizarre blend was overlaid with Ravenstine's ominous EML synthesizer effects and tape looped sounds of mundane conversation, ringing telephones or steam whistles.

Tape loops are loops of prerecorded Magnetic tape used to create repetitive rhythmic musical patterns or dense layers of sound Basic principle A traditional landline telephone system also known as "plain old telephone service" (POTS, commonly handles both signaling and audio information

After "Street Waves", their third single, Pere Ubu signed to Blank Records, a short-lived imprint of Mercury Records.

Laughner left the group after their first two singles, and died soon afterwards after a struggle with drug addiction. Drug addiction is widely considered a pathological state. The disorder of addiction involves the progression of acute Drug use to the development of drug-seeking Tony Maimone signed on as bassist after Tim Wright left to join DNA. Tony Maimone is a Bass guitarist He was a member of Pere Ubu from the mid-1970s to the early 1990 's often playing with Drummer Scott DNA were formed in 1978 by Guitarist Arto Lindsay and keyboardist Robin Crutchfield.

Their debut album, The Modern Dance (1978), sold poorly, but has proven influential. The Modern Dance is the debut album by Pere Ubu. Track listing All songs written by Pere Ubu except where noted Musicians of many types, including prog rock, punk rock, post punk and New Wave, were influenced by the dark, abstract record. Progressive rock (often shortened to " progressive " " prog " or " prog rock " is a form of Rock music that evolved Post-punk was a popular musical movement in the mid to late 1970s following on the heels of the initial Punk rock explosion of the early 1970s New Wave is a Rock music genre that existed during the late 1970s and the 1980s With the song "Sentimental Journey," the debut also introduced the practice of re-appropriating titles from well-known popular songs: Pere Ubu's "Sentimental Journey" has no obvious relation to the Doris Day hit song of the same name; "Drinking Wine Spodyody" has no apparent connection to the Jerry Lee Lewis song. Doris Mary Anne von Kappelhoff (born April 3, 1922) is an American Singer, actress, and animal welfare advocate known as "Sentimental Journey" is a popular Song, published in 1944. Jerry Lee Lewis (born September 29, 1935) is an American Rock and roll and Country music Singer, Songwriter This practice has continued through 2006's Why I Hate Women, which has a song called "Blue Velvet" (again, no relation to the 1963 hit song by Bobby Vinton). Why I Hate Women is Pere Ubu 's thirteenth album It finds Keith Moliné stepping in for departing longtime guitarist Tom Herman. " Blue Velvet " is a popular song written by Bernie Wayne and Lee Morris, that has been recorded by several artists Bobby Vinton (born April 16, 1935) is an American Pop music singer

Special note should be made of Ravenstine's contributions to Pere Ubu. While most synthesizer players tended to play the instrument as they would a piano or organ, Ravenstine generally opted instead to make sounds that were reminiscent of spooky sound effects from 1950s science fiction films, or perhaps electronic music and musique concrète. The piano is a Musical instrument played by means of a keyboard that produces sound by striking steel strings with Felt covered hammers The organ (from Greek όργανον – organon "organ instrument tool" is a Keyboard instrument of one or more divisions each For the album by The Jam see Sound Affects. Sound effects or audio effects are artificially created or enhanced Sounds Electronic music is music that employs Electronic musical instruments and Electronic Music technology in its production Musique concrète ( French; literally "concrete music" is a style of Avant-garde music that relies on recorded sounds including natural One critic writes that Ravenstine "may be one of the all-time great synth players" [11] and his playing has been called "utterly original" [12].

Dub Housing and New Picnic Time followed, with much the same reaction. Dub Housing is the critically acclaimed second album by Pere Ubu. New Picnic Time is the third full-length album by Pere Ubu. Reportedly the album sessions were stressful and contentious and after touring the group disbanded Dub Housing is notable as one of the earliest rock albums to use recordings of enigmatic shortwave radio number stations on "Ubu Dance Party". Shortwave Radio operates between the frequencies of 3000 KHz (3 Numbers stations are Shortwave radio stations of uncertain origin

The group briefly disbanded in 1979, but reformed soon afterwards with Herman replaced by Mayo Thompson (of Red Krayola). Mayo Thompson (born in 1944 in Houston, Texas) is an American Musician and Visual artist best known as the leader of the Avant-garde The Red Krayola (formerly The Red Crayola) was a Psychedelic, Avant-garde rock band from Houston Texas, formed by art students at the University

By the late 1980s, one of Thomas's solo projects eventually featured much of Pere Ubu. The band was reformed again in 1987, with Jim Jones and Chris Cutler joining for the release of The Tenement Year (1988), a far more pop-oriented album than ever before.
