Looking forward to playing with David Thomas and 2 pale boys again ….. as part of Pere Ubu’s Canterbury Tales
Friday 11th Feb …. in Canterbury of course! Tickets available here
Pere Ubu are performing in a one-off night of wall-to-wall music and poems with their own version of ‘Canterbury Tales.’ David Thomas says, “Canterbury to California, Chaucer to Kerouac. The Road leads to Redemptionville.” He adds the advice, “Hang a left.”
Bob Holman, founder and world renowned owner of the Bowery Poetry Club in NYC, will be introducing the evening and participating sporadically throughout. David Thomas will be wearing both caps – both as lead singer of Pere Ubu and as lead singer of David Thomas and the two pale boys. The acclaimed Rats On Rafts will be flying in to perform their exclusive live cover of Pere Ubu’s ‘Visions Of The Moon,’ followed by songs from their new album.
Pere Ubu are David Thomas (vocals), Keith Moliné (guitar and bass), Gagarin (synth), Alex Ward (clarinet and guitar) and the inimitable Mr Chris Cutler on drums and percussion. Two pale boys will be David Thomas, Keith Moliné, Gagarin and Andy Diagram (James) in a long anticipated return to their very unique songs and improvisations.
“We plan to come and go with special guest performers, and probably some chaos thrown in for good measure,” continues David Thomas. “David Sefton has curated some of our previous shows including Disastodrome, so we only have to concentrate on the creativity as he is the best at what he does, as far as we are concerned. All we know is that it will never happen again and we won’t stop until we’re satisfied it’s over. Buckle up.”
