The Set List

Bob Mould Added to L.A. Phil Bill

Bob Mould has joined the lineup of performers appearing Jan. 8 at L.A.'s Walt Disney Concert Hall for “Songs of the City,” part of the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Concrete Frequency series.
The series is described as “a multi-disciplinary series of events designed to examine and celebrate the elements that define a city, and how they are affected by, and reflected in, music.”
Besides the former front man of Husker Du and Sugar, the show will feature Zooey Deschanel,  John Doe, Sondre Lerche, Sean Lennon and members of TV on the Radio, Grizzly Bear and Belle and Sebastian. Tickets.

Get to Know Bob Mould

Rather than issue a CD that longtime fans will wonder if its as good as "Workbook" or as unlistenable as "Modulate," the man who led Husker Du and then Sugar will try a little something different on an upcoming 11-city tour. 
Mould will open each night with a half-hour acoustic set, then do 30 minutes of Q&A, then screen his DVD "Circle Of Friends" and then close the night by selling and signing DVDs as fans tell him how important "New Day Rising" is to their lives.
