Bob Mould returns to Twin Cities for a pair of intimate solo shows
After playing the Palace Theatre in St. Paul last month, Bob Mould is already plotting a return to the Twin Cities. This time, he's playing more intimate shows with back-to-back nights at Icehouse in Minneapolis and the Turf Club in St. Paul on Oct. 10 and 11. This go-round, the show will look a little different. Instead of a full band concert, Mould will be doing solo electric shows both nights. That's not the only thing that will be different. At the Palace, Mould, who was part of the seminal '80s punk outfit Hüsker Dü, played music recorded since 2012, including tracks from Here We Go Crazy, which was released earlier this year. The set lists for the solo shows will add "deeper cuts from my career songbook," Mould says. "The volume will be a touch quieter than the band shows, but the intensity will remain the same." Before those October shows, Mould will swing through the Twin Cities this weekend when he gives the commencement address at his alma mater, Macalester College. He'll also receive an honorary degree from the school he left to tour with Hüsker Dü whie writing an honors thesis on punk rock as a subculture. "In 1978, Macalester College accepted and welcomed this 17-year-old kid from Malone, NY to St. Paul, Minnesota," Mould says in a statement. "Without that opportunity, my life would be completely different. I never imagined I would be asked back to receive an honorary degree, nor did I foresee delivering the commencement speech to the Macalester College graduating class of 2025. I'll do my best this Saturday." Tickets for the shows at Icehouse and the Turf Club are on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 16. Presales from the venue and The Current will take place on Thursday, May 15.

Must-see concerts this week: Kendrick Lamar, Paul Simon, Bob Mould
Here's a look at what's hitting Twin Cities stages this week. Tuesday, April 15 at The Cedar Cultural Center After a tour with Alan Sparhawk and the release of Halo on the Inside, the powerfully voiced Haley Fohr brings her dark, spectral music to the Cedar. The Chicago-based artist has an unmistakably powerful voice with an impressive range. The new record — produced by MN-based artist Andrew Broder — alternately feels influenced by Ministry, Aphex Twin, Philip Glass, and Kate Bush. Saturday, April 19 at Palace Theatre Bob Mould isn't just getting an honorary degree from Macalester College this spring; he's bringing his three-piece — with longtime collaborators Jon Wurster and Jason Narducy — to the Palace on the back of his 15th solo album, Here We Go Crazy, an album that feels reflective without navel-gazing or throwing his punk roots so far aside as to feel staid. Poster Children open. Saturday, April 19 at U.S. Bank Stadium The Grammy-winning rapper and star of February's Super Bowl Half Time Show will open his new tour at U.S. Bank Stadium. He'll be accompanied by SZA, who guests on two tracks of K Dot's new album, GNX. Expect a theatrical presentation from one of the most influential contemporary names in hip-hop. Sunday, April 20 and Tuesday, April 22–Wednesday, April 23 at Orpheum Theater The legendary songwriter retired from touring years ago, in part because of "severe hearing loss." Nonetheless, he's back on the road with a show designed by his team in collaboration with the Stanford Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss, which allows him to comfortably perform. It'll be Simon's first performance in Minnesota since his 2018 farewell tour. Sunday, April 20 at The Armory My Morning Jacket recently released is, the group's 10th studio album. Co-produced by Brendan O'Brien — a departure from having Jim James play a big role, if not the only role, in producing the past nine albums — it's notably different than their last few records. It doesn't rekindle the fire of their early records but does capture the kind of consistency that has made them something of an institution. I suppose that all means that the songwriting is tight, often catchy, but is without the adventurous spirit that blended alt-country with bombastic indie rock and a willingness to draw on more eclectic influences. That's not a terrible thing, especially for longtime fans who want to revel in what they already like about the Louisville rockers. Grace Cummings on Monday, April 14: ZDAY feat.

Hüsker Dü's Bob Mould explains the role Montreal had in shaping him as an artist
You might know Bob Mould as one of the co-founders of the influential punk band Hüsker Dü. Back in the late '70s and early '80s, Hüsker Dü cut a path for countless bands to follow, like Nirvana, Pixies and Green Day. But before all that, Mould was just a precocious kid growing up in Malone, N.Y. — a small farming town near the Canadian border. "Malone is five miles south of the Quebec border, about 50 miles south of Montreal," Mould says in an interview with Q guest host Garvia Bailey. "So I grew up with Québécois, with French television and all that stuff." The lyrics of Mould's song Neanderthal off his new solo album, Here We Go Crazy, give a glimpse into the kind of kid he was. "I was the golden child with all the brains," he sings in the track's first verse. "I was so wild and too hard to contain." When you're curious about the world and living in a small town, like Mould was, visits to the big city have a funny way of shaping who you become. For Mould, the big city was Montreal. "In high school, I was taking a lot of French and my French teacher became my de facto counselor," he says. "He would organize road trips where a number of us could get on a school bus and go up to Montreal and ride the subway and go to museums and take in culture." Many times, those trips to Montreal were based around a rock concert at the Forum, which was something Mould really looked forward to. "The culture was so different than northern New York State, but it was so familiar because [I was] watching the Canadiens, you know, Hockey Night in Canada, three nights a week," he tells Bailey. "My dad used to take me up to go see pro wrestling at the Montreal Forum." WATCH | Official video for Here We Go Crazy: But there was one concert in particular that changed Mould's life, ultimately shaping him as an artist. "The concert that changed my entire direction for certain with music was at the University of Montreal at the small theatre, watching the Ramones open for Iggy Pop," he says. "I think Iggy would have been The Idiot, Ramones would have just been releasing Leave Home." After that show, Mould knew that he was meant to make punk music. "I said, 'OK, this is it. This is the kind of music,'" he says. "'Aerosmith, Kiss, Foghat, Fleetwood Mac, whatever — all of that is really good, but I'm going to go in this direction.'"

100 concerts for Chicago summer 2025 — starting with music this weekend
The live music picture has more or less taken shape for summer 2025. What's coming? This summer may not have the biggest of the big blockbuster concerts compared to last summer — farewell, Eras Tour — but that still leaves Beyoncé, AC/DC, The Weeknd, the recently announced Lady Gaga and lots more. It begins with the most concert-packed May in memory: Along with the first three of the aforementioned, Paul Simon is playing what's likely his farewell Chicago show at Symphony Center, Post Malone is at Wrigley and Sueños returns to Grant Park. Later in August, Oasis, My Chemical Romance, The Lumineers and System of A Down play back-to-back-to-back nights at Soldier Field — me, I'm gonna try not to even leave my parking space.

Cover Bob Mould in a Weighted Blanket, and Turn on Vintage Wrestling
Last fall, after an especially blistering concert overseas, the veteran rocker Bob Mould walked offstage and realized he couldn't breathe. 'I'd thrown myself so hard into the physicality of the show that I hyperventilated for about 15 minutes,' the musician, 64, said. 'It was just one of those shows where I was like, 'Did I leave a quart of blood up there tonight?'' Such energy-expending performances are typical for Mould, who's been a regular on the road since venues reopened after pandemic shutdowns ('I was making up for lost time,' he said). His live gigs informed many of the songs on 'Here We Go Crazy,' Mould's 15th studio album. Due March 7, it finds the onetime Hüsker Dü and Sugar frontman piling on the sort of speedy riffs, dead-center hooks and scream-of-consciousness lyrics that have defined much of Mould's nearly 50-year career. Many of the tracks were fine-tuned from the stage, with Mould keeping a close eye on the crowd whenever he was test-driving a new tune. 'Sometimes you see people's head bobbing, and they're poking each other, like, 'This is a good one,'' Mould said in a phone interview.' And sometimes there's just a little golf clap, and I'm like, 'OK. Got it.'' In a phone call from Palm Springs, Calif., where Mould lives part-time — he also resides in San Francisco — the musician discussed the rituals and getaways that get his blood pumping, both at home and on tour. These are edited excerpts from the conversation. I have really bad tinnitus from work — I mean, I will never have silence again. So one of my favorite things in life is to get up before the sun comes up, and just walk for two hours. It's one of the few places where I can get my head right, because all I can hear is the sound of the ocean. This is so pandering, but no matter where I am, before I look at the news or start returning calls, I get on The New York Times Games app. Spelling Bee is addictive — if I don't get Genius on it every day, I get really upset. And when I'm home with the husband, we play a lot of Catan, which is quite fun. Since I'm a dry alcoholic, much of my daily existence revolves around coffee — one of the few things I have left. When I get to a town, there's always a couple of hours between soundcheck and show, so I'll look on Yelp: 'Oh, this one has some reclaimed wood — maybe that's a third-wave coffee shop!' This is a Japanese company that has their own app that contains the history of their company, which goes back more than 50 years. I enjoy their historical stuff, especially from the early '90s, when Japanese wrestling was state of the art, and setting the stage for what in-ring American wrestling would look like. I was raised Catholic, and I was able to connect with her on that level, because she's very spiritual. She writes a lot about parenthood and children and addictions — the choices we make, and the places we end up. It's the best techno club in the world, with hourslong lines to get in. It's a real spectacle watching people get turned away. There will be tourists wearing tons of cologne and, like, Mickey Mouse shorts. They try to plead their case, and the door people are like, 'You must leave the property now. Goodbye.' I love New York City so much, and 'Only Murders' is probably my favorite TV show. My husband and I went to New York in April. We were going to go to this weird, like, bear-jockstrap party on Christopher Street, but Fred Armisen said, 'You should come over to 'S.N.L.'!' It was so packed on the floor, and my husband's like, 'Who's this guy that keeps backing into me?' And it was Martin Short! I'm not a wake-and-bake kind of guy. I tend to have a little fun at the end of the night, to get the edge off and get ready for bed. I'll do it all — you know, leaf, vape, edibles. I remember seeing [the 2008 film] 'Milk' at the Castro Theater, and it had a pretty profound effect on me. I'd had a pretty full gay life already, but seeing it there, I realized that the Castro — and the neighborhood around it — was such a big part of American history. My husband is a sleep-kicker, so I ordered two of these 15-pound weighted blankets — I think they're filled with glass beads. And after one night of those blankets, there was no more kicking. But now, when I travel, I get into bed, and I'm like, 'Oh no — it's just a regular hotel sheet and blanket! What happened?'
