R.I.P.: Tim Wright

Tim Wright, founding bassist of influential Cleveland band Pere Ubu and a transformative force in pioneering no wave band DNA, died this past Sunday (August 5, 2013).

Pere Ubu released a series of singles while building a reputation around the Cleveland area. Unfortunately, internal strife within the group, including disagreements over the use of two different guitarists, led to a number of membership changes and Wright left the group during the late summer of 1976.
