pere ubu: chinese radiation



Tom Herman: guitar
Scott Krauss: drums
Tony Maimone: bass
Allen Ravenstine: synthesizer
David Thomas: vocals

After guitarist, Peter Laughner was forced to leave Pere Ubu as a result of serious health issues, the Cleveland group signed to Blank Records. Recording sessions were initiated in November, 1977. The result was their first long player, "The Modern Dance", released in 1978.

As essential as their first two singles.

What with the Beijing Olympics drawing to a close, I felt "Chinese Radiation" might be appropriate. I'm hoping I won't be compelled to post Georgia Satellites any time soon for much the same kind of reason.
