N.B. To land an evening at a local club the band had to provide four sets, starting 8 - 9pm and ending 2 - 3am. Pere Ubu never had more than two. Not popular enough for a weekend, the band played work days. The audience thinned out after the 3rd set. Pere Ubu played the first and third sets regardlesss of whether the support act was a local unknown or a touring group. "They generally thought we were being generous," David Thomas recalled.
