About us

The neo-krautrock trio Ubu Imperator emerged in early 2022 in the deepest basements of Munich's Alpenstraße.

In numerous jam sessions, a constellation of guitar, drums and synthesizers gradually evolved, navigating diverse realms from dreamy to dramatic, between harmonies and noise, embracing rhythm and chaos.

The band's name is a reference to the theater piece ”King Ubu” (1896) by the french writer Alfred Jarry.

Ubu Video

Madness! Ubu drummer and illustrator Daniel was spending multiple nights with drawing and fabricated an insane delirium of a music video for our song kardinalkardinal. Viel Spaß!
