Bob Mould Plans Autobiography - A Top Story This Week

.
Bob Mould Plans Autobiography was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (PR) Bob Mould, founder of the pioneering American punk band Husker Du, will write his memoir for publication in autumn 2010. Michael Azerrad, author of the bestselling Our Band Could Be Your Life and Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana will collaborate with Mould to tell the full story of his blazing, era-defining life and career.
Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Bob Mould founded the trio Hüsker Dü in Minneapolis in 1979, powerfully reshaping America's rock scene. Hüsker Dü LPs like Zen Arcade and New Day Rising won over critics and fans by welding melodicism, tenderness, and literary seriousness to punk's rage, volume, and speed. Influenced by the Ramones, the Beatles, and classics like "Eight Miles High," their cover of which was a college radio hit, Hüsker Dü created new classics of rage and alienation like "Celebrated Summer," "Makes No Sense At All," and "Hardly Getting Over It." Determined to create music that mattered both artistically and politically, they released eight albums in seven years and toured relentlessly before drug addictions, a suicide, and artistic and personal differences led to the band's implosion in 1988.
The memoir will, for the first time ever, delve deeply into Mould's life as a musician and his experiences with Hüsker Dü, as a solo artist, and in his most commercially viable and successful work as leader of '90s indie rock kingpins Sugar. - more on this story
