August 28, 1975: One of Ohio's most creative rock bands, the punk experimentalists Pere Ubu, forms in Akron with singer David Thomas, guitarists Peter Laughner and Tom Herman, bassist Tim Wright, keyboardists Allen Ravenstine and drummer Scott Krauss. Named after a French surrealist play, the band -- amid personnel changes -- has gone on to record such alternative classics as The Modern Dance, Dub Housing and Cloudland.
