Reinventing rock music from the ground up, Pere Ubu are equally at ease with Sun Ra and The Monkees, Glen Campbell and The MC5, Can and The Raspberries, they are the white Funkadelic.

“Inspired, invigorating, confounding, disturbing…” Rolling Stone

As vital as ever, no band before or since has ever sounded like Pere Ubu – period.
