Pere Ubu unveil their new album, ‘Trouble On Big Beat Street’, nearly four years after their previous record for Cherry Red, ‘The Long Goodbye’.
‘Trouble On Big Beat Street’, the 19th Pere Ubu studio album. David Thomas produced, mixed, and engineered it. The vinyl release is ten tracks. The cd release includes all 17 tracks recorded during the sessions.
Those extra seven tracks were too good to lose but took up too much time to fit on a vinyl release.
Pere Ubu is David Thomas, Gagarin, Keith Moliné, Alex Ward, Andy Diagram, with Michele Temple and Jack Jones.
‘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.
‘Trouble On Big Beat Street’ is released on May 26th 2023 and is available to pre-order from Cherry red Records
There will be an album launch gig on Fri June 2nd at Rich Mix Bethnal Green road London.
