Pere Ubu played songs from 1974 - 1982 at Bowery Ballroom w/ Obnox (pics, setlist, video)
“We don’t promote chaos, we preserve it.”
Led by the one and only David Thomas, Pere Ubu brought this doctrine to Bowery Ballroom on Wednesday (6/29) as part of their ‘Coed Jail!’ tour promoting two new box sets: Architecture Of Language 1979-1982 and Elitism For The People, 1975-1978. As such, the setlist drew exclusively from the Cleveland protopunk/punk/postpunk icons’ 1974-1982 era.
Fellow Ohio artist Obnox opened. Did you go? Pere Ubu’s setlist, as well as some photos and videos from the show (and a list of remaining tour dates), are below.
