Nostalgia is a strange thing for any artist – particularly so for a group like Pere Ubu. Perpetually striving for change and innovation, the band’s evolution has afforded little time for reflection. Last year, however, saw front man David Thomas remixing the group’s 11th and 12 albums,  Pennsylvania and St. Arkansas. It provided a rare opportunity to revisit and reflect on a pair of 20-year-old albums representing the halfway mark of the band’s career to date. Thomas’ musical career dates back even further, to the legendary – if short-lived -- Rocket from the Tombs. Pere Ubu represents to the next step in that musical evolution, a journey that took him and an ever-changing lineup through 2019’s The Long Goodbye. In spite of health problems, both Thomas and Pere Ubu still a mission to keep bringing music to the world.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
