RIP David Thomas

David Thomas, anarchic Pere Ubu bandleader, dies aged 71

 ---

I am getting so tired of all of these RIP's.

David Thomas helped co-found (with Peter Laughner and Craig Bell) the incredible pre-punk Rocket From the Tombs (the original band, not the 80's group that stole / slightly changed the name) that splintered into Pere Ubu and the Dead Boys and is responsible for inspiring countless bands, but especially mid-west punk and pre-punk combos. All of these bands works should be sought out if you don't already have everything!

Another great gone way too soon.
