...I still recall hearing Dub Housing in college & being beyond blown away--starting w/ the ebullient/maniacal "I got these arms and legs that flip flop flip flop" of Navvy through the Ubu Dance Party #ripDavidThomas #PereUbu

Such a tremendous loss. #ripDavidThomas. This delightful performance with Louden Wainwright III & David Sanborn on Night Music in 1989 offers a tiny glimpse into one aspect of Thomas and #PereUbu's creativity/originality/avant genius.

😢 #ripDavidThomas. Pere Ubu’s “avant garage” mix of art rock, punk, garage, jazz, experimental noise & influences ranging from MC5 to Sun Ra ushered in no wave/postpunk. Van Dyke Parks once introduced Thomas to Brian Wilson thus: “Meet the other genius.” #PereUbu

My timeline is reminding me that I still have to get The Modern Dance (a major oversight). I've got Dub Housing, Terminal Tower and this one (their "pop" album).

We claim him as one our own in NE Ohio. Always loved that he was a champion of local legends 15-60-75, AKA The Numbers Band led by brothers Bob and Jack Kidney and sax genius Terry Hynde (Chrissie’s brother). #RIPDavidThomas

Good September 2021 interview with the late David Thomas from It’s Psychedelic Baby! magazine. #RIPDavidThomas www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2021/09/pere...
A great video with a delightfully odd group of performers. #RIPDavidThomas
“Mr Thomas's voice is that of a man muttering in a crowd. You think he's talking to himself until you realize he's talking to you." - Greil Marcus on David Thomas. #RIPDavidThomas
Excellent interview with the legend. #RIPDavidThomas
