Pere Ubu is a part of Cle music history. Formed in Cleveland in 1975, this discordant midwestern groove rock outfit grew to inspire the likes of Joy Division, Pixies, Husker Du, Henry Rollins, REM, Sisters of Mercy, Thomas Dolby, Bauhaus, Julian Cope and countless others. See ’em @ the Beachland on Sat 3/19.
Info:
Pere Ubu was supposed to be an end, not a beginning. Assembled in August 1975 as the Crosby Stills Nash & Young of the Cleveland music underground, the plan was to record one, maybe two singles and exist no more. Within months, however, those first self-produced records were being snapped up in London, Paris, Manchester, New York and Minneapolis. Pere Ubu was changing the face of rock music.
