About this concert
Eternally vital singer-songwriter and former member of highly influential indie rock outfits Hüsker Dü and Sugar
As one third of Hüsker Dü, Bob Mould was front and centre for the ’80s indie rock revolution. Alongside the likes of Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr. and fellow Twin Cities denizens The Replacements, Hüsker were card-carrying members of a new revolution that prized artistic integrity and DIY attitude over commercial gain.
With their buzzsaw guitars and the yin-yang of Mould’s vitriol and Grant Hart’s romanticism, Hüsker blew out of the underground with three flawless albums in two years on SST before signing to Warner in 1986. After Hüsker Dü split in 1988, Mould released two solo albums before forming the band Sugar, which leaned into the poppier side of his songwriting on acclaimed albums Copper Blue (1992) and File Under: Easy Listening (1994).
Sugar were short-lived and Mould was back on his own by 1995. As a solo artist, Mould broadened his scope significantly, especially on the electronica-tinged Modulate and Blowoff in the early ’00s. However, he was soon back on familiar territory by 2008, recording The District Line with Fugazi’s Brendan Canty.
Mould worked with renowned music writer Michael Azerrad (author of the defining indie rock bible Our Band Could Be Your Life) on his memoir See A Little Light: The Trail of Rage And Melody, published in 2011. He then assembled a new power trio that recaptured the fuzzed out pop of Sugar, featuring Jon Wurster (Superchunk, The Mountain Goats) on drums and Jason Narducy (Split Single) on bass.
This new Mould crew debuted on Silver Age in 2012 and held strong through an impeccable run of records, including Beauty & Ruin, Patch The Sky and 2019’s Sunshine Rock. Mould was on imperiously furious form for 2020’s Blue Hearts, an angry battle cry against the rise of the far right in America.

Overhaul Biography
OVERHAUL:
Touring with legendary artists such as Bob Mould (Sugar, Hüsker Dü) Violent Femmes, Dinosaur Jr, Grant Hart (Hüsker Dü), Langhorne Slim, and Ken Stringfellow of R.E.M., Andy Gallagher (guitar/vocals), Kenny Johnson (bass/vocals) and John Malone (drums/backup vocals) form the Rock/Grunge/Alternative Rock band, Overhaul. Formed in 1997, Overhaul tapped their musical influences from both U.S. coasts and Scotland to construct their own unique wall of sound built from pounding drums, catchy guitar hooks, and fist-raising vocal.
Rocking the music scene for almost 25 years, extensive touring has brought Overhaul to festivals throughout Europe, including Liverpool Sound City, Go North Festival, Inverness, and the Electric Picnic Festival in Ireland. Audiences flock to venues such as The Liquid Room in Edinburgh, King Tut’s in Glasgow, and The Cavern in Liverpool to get their daily dose of rock. Fans eagerly scan concert bulletins for a chance to catch Overhaul onstage.
Overhaul has four releases to date, including Hope Shines Through (2006), Here and There (2009), Achukma (2013), and Lighter (2018). From the roar of the opening riff of “Dry Your Eyes” on Hope Shines Through, to the overdriven but melodic guitars of the closing song “Good Intentions” on Lighter, Overhaul is able to retool their sound with each album while being consistent with their musical roots. As the quote from Jimi Hendrix reads on their artwork for Lighter, “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace,” many fans felt peace when the band announced a new album was in the works.
Overhaul was not to be stopped by the pandemic. Built on song ideas first created 18 years prior, the band is excited for their upcoming fifth album (Revisited), set to be released in September 2021. Be sure to catch the release on all major music streaming platforms and follow Overhaul on social media to stay updated on exciting announcements and news from the band.
