Ubu Roi (1898)
All along this week I have been spending lots of it listening to my collection of old, indie records like The Fall's Hex Enduction Hour, Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, and Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation. Then I came upon this 1975 Cleveland-based band Pere Ubu, named after one of the characters from Alfred Jarry's controversial 1898 play, Ubu Roi.
Brilliant stuff.
