Pere Ubu is an American rock group formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1975. The band had a variety of lineup changes, with singer and songwriter David Thomas remaining the band's sole constant. In 1975, they released their debut single 30 Seconds Over Tokyo, followed by their debut album The Modern Dance in 1978, after several more releases they disbanded in 1982 only to reform in 1987, with Thomas remaining active, recording and touring until his death on April 23, 2025. Their work drew inspiration from musique concrète, garage rock, performance art, and the Rust Belt of the American Midwest. Despite their association with the art punk and post-punk scene, Thomas rejected the punk rock label, self-describing the band as "avant-garage", as well as stating that Pere Ubu were "just a rock band". Their single "Waiting for Mary" peaked at number 6 on the Alternative Airplay charts on June 17, 1989. Pere Ubu have been cited as an influence by artists such as Joy Division, Pixies, Hüsker Dü, Henry Rollins, Guided by Voices, R.E.M., Sisters of Mercy, Thomas Dolby, Julian Cope and Peter Murphy (Bauhaus).
