Dave sits down his Lucid Fugue bandmates Steve & Dan to show them an album that seriously influenced the playing and songwriting he brings into the group.
The Modern Dance is the debut album by American post-punk, art rock band Pere Ubu. It was released in January 1978 by record label Blank.
Their debut album, The Modern Dance (1978), sold poorly, but has proven influential.[11] Musicians of many types, including progressive rock, punk rock, post punk and new wave, were influenced by the dark, abstract record. With the song "Sentimental Journey," the debut also introduced the practice of re-appropriating titles from well-known popular songs: Pere Ubu's "Sentimental Journey" has no obvious relation to the Doris Day hit song of the same name; "Drinking Wine Spodyody" has no apparent connection to the Sticks McGhee song (later revived by Jerry Lee Lewis).
