On today's episode, I talk to musician David Thomas. Raised
in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, David is one of the founders of the
short-lived but influential punk band Rocket from the Tombs, who
split up after about a year, with some members going off to form
the Dead Boys, while David founded Pere Ubu. While David would
record on and off with the self-described avant-garage Pere Ubu
over the next 40 years, he has also recorded with a number of
different collaborators under a number of different names, such as
David Thomas & the Pedestrians, David Thomas & the Wooden Birds and
David Thomas & Two Pale Boys. Earlier in September, Fire Records
reissued two classic Pere Ubu albums Pennsylvania and St
Arkansas!
