A constantly evolving guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, Bob
Mould has been an influential and even iconic musician for more than
two decades. Mould fronted the rock band Husker Du — one of the acts
that defined alternative rock — before exploring a poppier direction
with Sugar in the early ’90s. He’ll perform a concert from WXPN and World Cafe Live in Philadelphia at noon ET Friday.
As
a solo artist, Mould has released everything from Sugar-style pop music
to dance and electronica, even adopting a separate persona as
"LoudBomb" for his electronic works. He’s also explored artistic
pursuits outside of music, taking time away to pursue a career in
scriptwriting for professional wrestling. But in recent years, he’s
become a noted remixer, recently reworking Interpol’s "Length of Love"
as a dance track.
Mould’s new album, District Line, comes out in February; the disc mixes his familiar rock sound with elements of electronic music.
