Venue: Ochoymedio Club (Sala But), Madrid. SON Estrella Galicia
Tickets: for a limited period €12 / Advance € 15
Ticket sales: Ticketea
Pere Ubu is one of the best examples of artistic integrity that rock has given us. Formedin 1975, and with the reverent figure of David Thomas as the beacon and constant element, the band from Cleveland make it very clear through the motto that presides their encyclopedic website: “Ars longa, spectatores fugaces” (Art remains, the public comes and goes). A statement of intention that has governed their monumental career, and which explains the unprejudiced open style of a discourse that, despite allowing numerous labels, could be summed up as art punk rock, or, to be fairer, rock á la Pere Ubu.
