Bob Mould (born October 16, 1960, in Malone, New York) is an American musician, principally known for his work as guitarist, vocalist and songwriter for influential rock bands Hüsker Dü in the 1980s and Sugar in the 1990s.
Born in Malone, New York, Mould lived in several places, including Pine City, Minnesota and the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, where he attended Macalester College. There, he formed Hüsker Dü in the late 1970s, with drummer/singer Grant Hart and bass guitarist Greg Norton.
Mould released his first solo album after Hüsker Dü broke up; 1989’s Workbook eschewed Mould’s trademark wall-of-noise guitar for a stripped-down sound featuring acoustic guitars and cellos. 1991’s jagged Black Sheets of Rain put Mould in more familiar territory, recalling Hüsker Dü’s loudest, angriest moments. Mould also started a record label, Singles Only Label, which released singles from up and coming bands such as Grant Lee Buffalo.
Mould then formed the group Sugar, a college/alternative radio favorite in the mid-1990s. Along with extensive touring, Sugar released two albums, an EP and a B-sides collection before splitting.
Mould returned to solo recording, releasing a self-titled album in 1996 (which is often referred to as Hubcap because of the cover photo) and 1998’s The Last Dog and Pony Show. During a stint living in New York City in the late-1990s, Mould’s tastes took a detour into dance music and electronica. Those influences were clear on his 2002 release Modulate, which featured a strong electronica influence to mixed critical reviews.

Took me a while to even give Modulate a listen. But I'm glad I did, even just for Slay/Sway alone.

New #1, Moving Trucks and Skintrade are ace, but yeah. Modulate sounds a lot more inspired despite the change in direction. The Last Dog and Pony Show is definitely an album of an artist with one foot out the door.

I just figured out why perhaps his worst album has so many plays on here. It's all last.fm offers. Last Dog & Pony Show is good, but he's done so much better.
