Lady From Shanghai

Description

Only three years since their last album, but already 35 years of existence for Pere Ubu. "Lady From Shanghai" ushers in a new era for the band. Still inclined to provoke and shock the listener, David Thomas and his bandmates remain one of the most innovative groups, offering a Dance album... in their own way. As Thomas explains, "The dancer is the puppet of Dance; it was high time someone put an end to this abomination." Originally formed to release one or two self-produced singles, Pere Ubu are embarking on their 35th year of influencing the music world and captivating their fans and music critics. With their blend of Midwest groove-rock, chaotic structures, and analog synths, they can boast of having inspired Joy Division, Pixies, Husker Du, Henry Rollins, REM, Sisters of Mercy, Thomas Dolby, Bauhaus, Julian Cope, and many others.
