Sugar – the band formed by Hüsker Dü’s Bob Mould with bassist David Barbe and drummer Malcolm Travis – return with their first new music for thirty years. Says Mould, “Sugar was a meteorite. I spent all of 1991 writing and performing new material at solo shows. David and Malcolm had never met but I was certain we three would work well together.
“Sugar was a workhorse. After weeks of rehearsal in early 1992, we spent three months recording “Copper Blue” and “Beaster”. By summer 1992, the musical climate was perfect for what we created.
“Sugar was a phenomena. No one could have predicted the results. We held onto the wheel and did our best to enjoy the wild ride. Sugar was part of a pivotal era in popular music, and a special time in my life.”
Beside the new single, Sugar will perform together for the first time since January 1995, at New York City’s Webster Hall on Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3, 2026 and then in London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24, 2026 .
