David Thomas, the co-founder of Rocket From The Tombs and Pere Ubu will be in Columbus, OH for a performance talk on Friday, February 27, 2015 at 5 pm in Room 180, Hagerty Hall at Ohio State University.

Writer, singer, songwriter, actor, producer and director within the self-proclaimed genre of the Avant-Garage, Thomas is credited with rewriting the rules of both popular and experimental music since 1975. His career began as a writer and columnist for weekly magazine The Scene, in Cleveland, in the early 70s.

Thomas has written two operas, Mirror Man (1998) and Bring Me The Head Of Ubu Roi (2008), which both premiered at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, before touring internationally. The latter was animated by cult filmmakers, The Brothers Quay.

Thomas co-starred in a limited, sold out run of the ‘junk opera’ Shockheaded Peter in London’s West End in 2002. London’s South Bank Centre and UCLA Performing Arts staged four and three day festivals, respectively, dedicated to his writing and music. The Knitting Factory in New York City presented a three-day festival of his work.
