Cherry Red

Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group. With the label code LC 6730, Cherry Red has made a name for itself in the music industry. It is important to note that this label should not be confused with the US label of the same name.

Evolving from Cleveland's Teutonic protopunks, Pere Ubu was formed in 1975 by David Thomas and guitarist Peter Laughner. Ubu's early singles, "Heart Of Darkness" and "Final Solution," showcased their restless angst before it became popular. With superior musicianship and influences from Thomas's Jehovah's Witness upbringing, Pere Ubu released albums like The Modern Dance and Dub Housing that subverted rock norms. After a split, the band regrouped for more self-indulgent albums through 1982. They returned with renewed focus in 1988 and continued to experiment with pop textures while maintaining their unique sound.

Tim Kerr Records picked up the ball with 1995's Ray Gun Suitcase—a mix of Ubu's vicious rock, luscious pop, and art-damaged identities—and a series of multimedia-enhanced EPs. Throughout their career, Pere Ubu has consistently pushed boundaries and defied categorization. Their music is characterized by Thomas's distinctive warble and their willingness to explore unconventional sonic territories.

With an extensive lineup that has included notable musicians such as Tom Herman, Mayo Thompson, Allen Ravenstine, Tim Wright, Tony Maimone, Scott Krauss, Chris Cutler, Garo Yellin, Robert Wheeler,and Steve Mehlman among others—Pere Ubu continues to create thought-provoking music that challenges listeners' expectations.

On Friday, July 14th 2017, Pere Ubu musicians and crew undertook the journey to Jarocin, Poland, from their homes around the world.....And so begins the story of By Order Of Mayor Pawlicki. Broken mics, broken drums, broken itineraries and some espionage made this a stand-out gig for all involved, but from the moment they took to the stage the band’s performance blew all of those impediments, and more, aside.

Performing material from the first seven years of the band’s career, Pere Ubu, led by the ever-engaging David Thomas, rejuvenate and reinvigorate their classic catalogue from this influential era. Interspersed with Thomas’ anecdotes, observations and inspired utterances, here we present eighteen cornerstone pieces of the Pere Ubu jigsaw, performed with dedicated brutality.

Also includes two tracks featuring founder member Tom Herman, recorded in Marseilles the previous year.
