Despite their successes, Sugar called it a day following a Japanese tour in early 1995, with the original members reconvening three decades later to record \u201cHouse Of Dead Memories.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.thatericalper.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo Credit: Ryan Bakerink Sugar, the iconic alternative rock trio led by Bob Mould alongside bassist David Barbe and drummer Malcolm Travis, has returned with their first new music together in over three decades, \u201cHouse of Dead Memories.\u201d Recorded at Tiny Telephone Oakland in June 2025, the song arrives via Granary Music and BMG as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2219172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25179],"tags":[429173,363201,386411,429174,429175,429176,394906,429177,429101,429178,394907,429179,414989],"class_list":["post-2219171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","tag-40-watt-club","tag-bmg","tag-bob-mould","tag-creation-records","tag-david-barbe","tag-granary-music","tag-husker-du","tag-malcolm-travis","tag-o2-forum-kentish-town","tag-record-store-day-black-friday","tag-sugar","tag-tiny-telephone-oakland","tag-webster-hall"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sugar-Returns-With-First-New-Music-In-Over-Three-Decades.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2219171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2219171"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2219171\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2219173,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2219171\/revisions\/2219173"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2219172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2219171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2219171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2219171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
