Peru Ubu are playing Vancouver on Thursday Nov 30th. Two shows at the Echo, Nov 6th and 7th. Second show added. 

Pere Ubu are hitting the road with the music from their new album, ’20 Years In A Montana Missile Silo’ (Cherry Red Records distributed by MVD, release date 29th September 2017), starting with the east coast of America. ‘The MonkeyNet Tour’ will deliver an hour-long set of new songs, peppered with a couple of tracks from previous albums and David Thomas’ infamous narratives in-between. On the choice of tour name, Mr Thomas says, “An infinite number of monkeys clicking on an infinite number of links will yield nothing but an infinite number of bananas.”

With the new track ‘Monkey Bizness’ giving a taster of what’s to come, anticipation of hearing the new album is high and, along with the rave reviews of their live performances last year, fans are guaranteed a Pere Ubu show unlike those that have gone before, but with all the same extraordinary components.
