David Thomas

PERE UBU main man and singer, David Thomas , once lived in Brighton. I recognise the coastal road and the architecture when I lived in the Kemp Town end of the city. That is how I saw him live twice in various gigs with Pere Ubu and his follow up band the Two Pale Boys. And yes, Brighton on a cold day can be miserable. Those coloured beach huts in this documentary are in the Hove end of the city and no, I do not recognise the pub David is drinking in with his dog. The subtitles are in Dutch and I wonder if coming42 recognises the language. My bro lived in Breda for five years.
