Having emerged from the Cleveland scene over 30 years ago, post-punk band Pere Ubu has announced it's still alive and warbling with a new mini-spring tour in support of its most recent full-length, Why I Hate Women. The quintet only plans on taking its shows--and lead singer David Thomas' "gruff caterwauls," as one Paste concert review of them and recent Band of the Week Mahjongg put it--to four cities.

Two of the dates, which dot the South, will also feature a live underscoring of Roger Corman's 1963 film X, The Man with the X-Ray Eyes. May we relay a quote from the movie, with appropriate punctuation indicating our excitement about its content?:

Dr. James Xavier: I'm blind to all but a tenth of the universe. (!)
Dr. Sam Brant: My dear friend, only the gods see everything.
Dr. James Xavier: My dear doctor, I'm closing in on the gods. (!!)

The tour dates:

March
22
- Louisville, Ky. @ Pour Haus
23
- Knoxville, Tenn. @ Pilot Light
24
- Charlotte, N.C. @ Neighborhood Theatre (live film underscore)
25
- Atlanta, Ga. @ Plaza Theatre (live film underscore)
