SUGAR – the iconic alternative rock trio led by Bob Mould alongside bassist David Barbe and drummer Malcolm Travis – returns today with their first new music together in over three decades, ‘House of Dead Memories.’
Recorded at Tiny Telephone Oakland in June 2025, the song is available everywhere now via Granary Music/BMG.
In addition, SUGAR will celebrate ‘House of Dead Memories’ with their first live performances together since January 1995, set for New York City’s Webster Hall on Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3, 2026 and London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24, 2026.
Next month will also see SUGAR‘s essential 1992 debut album, Copper Blue, commemorated with Copper Blue – The Singles Collection, a limited edition 4LP box set to be released by BMG on Record Store Day Black Friday, November 28.
Having already placed his indelible mark on the future direction of rock with HUSKER DU, Bob Mould teamed with bassist David Barbe and drummer Malcolm Travis to found SUGAR. Named by NME as its 1992 ‘Album of the Year,’ SUGAR‘s now-classic debut album, Copper Blue, immediately proved a sensation.
