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.
You can hear their comeback single “House Of Dead Memories” below.
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.”
In addition to 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 (tickets here) and Sunday, May 3, 2026 (tickets here) and London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24, 2026 (tickets here).
Next month will also see Sugar 1992 debut album, Copper Blue, commemorated with Copper Blue – The Singles Collection, a limited edition 4LP box set to be released by BMG on Record Store Day Black Friday, November 28.
