    Live listening party here on bandcamp tonight, 7pm BST with David Thomas LIVE answering questions, giving insight and generally having a party.

    Griel Marcus says 'Everything here is a question the musicians don’t bother to answer, because, in Manny Farber’s words, art that “feels its way through walls of particularization” isn’t a question, but an activity, or a life’s work.'

    Mojo says 'Trouble... is thrillingly fresh-fractured and pulsing, gnarly and tender, whilst Thomas' cackle and warble is undiminished.'

    Uncut says 'it sounds just like you’d want a Peru Ubu album to sound in 2023, it sounds like they still need to challenge both themselves and us as listeners'

about

Pere Ubu unveil their new album, ‘Trouble On Big Beat Street’, nearly four years after their previous record for Cherry Red, ‘The Long Goodbye’.

‘The Modern Dance’ (1978) marked the end of Rock ‘n’ Roll. ‘Trouble On Big Beat Street’ marks the end of The Song. Pere Ubu ended with ‘The Long Goodbye’ (their last album, also on Cherry Red, from 2019). Pere Ubu begins again with ‘Trouble On Big Beat Street’.

If you missed the last 48 years then imagine a bad- attitude. Imagine Electric Light Orchestra – the version with Roy Wood – then add Muddy Waters playing guitar and Nina Simone singing.
Pere Ubu is David Thomas, Keith Moliné, Gagarin, Alex Ward, Andy Diagram, Michele Temple and Jack Jones.

Keith Moliné and Andy Diagram are the two pale boys. They have played with David more than 28 years.
Electronica artist Gagarin was soundman for the two pale boys. Michele Temple has been in Pere Ubu 30 years. Improviser and life-long fan Alex Ward submitted a cover version of a David Thomas song to the band’s live-streaming show. David invited him to join the band. David met Jack Jones in the pub.
