I feel like nobody ever talks about Pere Ubu around here and I'm like, what's up?

Favorite new record? Favorite old record? Got a band? Post it here.

bassist Tony Maimone
He is a wonderful bassist
he was still in Pere Ubu when they toured with Pixies around 1990 or so. saw them a few times during that tour, and also saw him in Bob Mould's band around that same time. talked to him for a few minutes before one of those shows, seemed like a cool guy.

EDIT for memory jog: i think on that Mould tour, his backing band was Tony Maimone, Anton Fier and Chris Stamey ... it was the Husker Du, Pere Ubu and dB's all-stars 8)
Holy shit! That's The Golden Palominos!

:D could have been, for all the characters who appeared on those records at one time or another! you wouldn't expect Michael Stipe, John Lydon, Bernie Worrell, Richard Thompson, Henry Kaiser and Jack Bruce to all turn up on the same album, but then you have "Visions of Excess" .... plus Fier (of course) & Stamey!

that run of Palominos records from 1985-94 or so still rules. a couple years ago i got Amanda Kramer to sign my "Drunk with Passion" CD ... she seemed pretty delighted that someone still remembered. i was like, i listen to those albums all the time! (EDIT: and of course Mould appeared that record. what times those were.)

"Visions of Excess" is in my top five albums, easy. Thompson just shreds.
