daz Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Any of you old farts out there remember [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pere_Ubu"]Pere Ubu[/url] ? If so, is anyone going to see them in November? So far just 6 confirmed dates, Manchester, leeds, Edinburgh, Bristol, Glasgow. Edited July 10, 2014 by daz Quote
Pinball Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I remember them, never saw them back in the day so may check them out. Always an interesting band Quote
HowieBass Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Saw them live supporting New Order in (I think) Bradford. Got stopped on the way back by cops looking for flying pickets during the miners' strike. Might be tempted to go to the Manchester gig and see what new adventures await... Quote
Kirky Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I saw them at Fibbers in York last year - my favourite gig of the year by far. Michelle plays a lovely G&L Asat and the whole band are really interesting. Going to the Brudenell gig in November. Thoroughly recommended. Quote
bigdavethebass Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Saw them supporting the Pixies on the Doolittle Tour and then on their own a couple years later. Awesome. Thanks for the heads up! Quote
alyctes Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Bristol for me. And thanks Edited July 9, 2014 by alyctes Quote

sprocketflup Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Saw them back in 89-90 at Birmingham Irish Centre being supported by the wonderful Miracle Legion. Both bands were happy to come down after their sets and chat to us punters. Good times Quote
