On Friday evening the festival Noise Pop in San Francisco, Bob Mould Sugar played 1993 album "Copper Blue" from front to back for the first time in his career. Post-punk icon is planning to take the album on the road, last look at what is to become a retrospective period forms: the fall of last year, was celebrated with a tribute concert in Los Angeles that featured Dave Grohl, Ryan Adams and others, and published his autobiography " See a little light, "in 2011. But Mould also at work on new music. In the weeks before his show, Noise Pop, talked about the strength of "Blue copper," in 90th rebirth and the return of his "loud" guitar.
What do you think made that album in particular, stand the test of time?
Bob Mould: I do not know, is quite optimistic record, compared to some of the work that went in it and after it, so I think it stands out that ... During this time, I loved writing this record, I loved writing the record and I loved playing those songs as It's a bit easy for me. There is the early 90s thing that happens is beyond the control of all of us. And it was a good song writing. In my book I talk about the year preceding the recording and release of copper and Blue, as it seemed that things were queuing in person and in the world of music that set the stage for this record to be my biggest success.
What was the tribute concert in Los Angeles, like for you? The musicians all seemed very excited to be there.
I was quite speechless at the end of the night with everyone how great he played, and only the choices of songs. Especially Britt [Daniel of Spoon], taking on "JC Auto" with "Beaster" I was surprised that he did a good job with it. Ryan [Adams] "takes on the" Workbook "and" black metal "thing. You know, really, really great night. Personally, it's fun to listen to those records again. I've always been very forward-looking guy so it was interesting.
In these types of shows, anything can happen, it just felt really funny kind of party. Matt Pinfield did a great job [hosting]. I really wanted Matt out there, because she's encyclopedia of contemporary music and he's an old friend, he and I go way, way back. It was great to have him come and tie the whole show together. It was nice to have Margaret [Cho] there, she and I are friends, and she is very, very serious about their music. Dave [Grohl], of course. Where do I even start with this? [Laughter] Nicest guy in the world.
He was so energetic, even compared to any other - it was like a thunderbolt.
[Laughter] He was. He's a great guy, it was nice to get to know him over the last eighteen months. Our paths crossed briefly very, very briefly and superficially in the last 20 years and it was nice when we finally got in the room and talked about things. I think it showed on stage, what the chemistry is like.
Your current team is Jason and Jon Wurster Narducy. How to connect with them?
Well, Jason, I have known Jason for about 20 years. He was a fan of my stuff, and we met in Chicago in 1990 or '91 in the show solo. He brought me some music that I was working on. I just need to be friends and I really liked your work. Bass Player took place with me in 2005, "Body of Song" tour. With Jon Wurster, Jon came in and saved the place of the drummer on "District Line" tour in 2009. We had a drummer - a nice guy, but it was hard, it does not feel right and I think we all knew. Jon has just finished, I believe, a few dates, chamois and was available for collection in the western part of the coast on the road. He just like jumped on board and ran things for the sound check and it was amazing. Do not look. [Laughs] It's amazing player, very intuitive, very stable, very colorful. I know, a directory, the entire catalog from beginning to end. We go well together, spend time with each other, so it's pretty cool. It feels really great.
I go to work on a new solo album with them, is that true?
Yes, I did a lot of writing, we did some recordings and see where it goes. It is in the form and the steps now. I'm quite optimistic.
Playing the "Copper Blue" shows, you think it will go in this direction?
Well, that's a great record based off the new album. I played a lot of loud guitar recently so that he could be one direction that it may lean toward. Yes, yes! It's what we did for several years on the street.
Your work is influenced so many bands, as a tribute to the show presented. Are there any new groups you excited?
I heard the album Nothing's cloud a few nights ago, pretty cool, pretty good stuff. I have not heard the previous record, which I guess was more bedrooms record. This one is good, very seriously, you can hear in his voice. He heard the new Silversun Pickups, it was pretty cool. I like their first album a lot, I think we are at No. 3 now. F *** ed Up, I've been a fan for a long time and see them get all the attention on "David Comes to Life" is really great. No Age, who think that the world, they are really sweet guys and it was great to get to know them and observe their development. I was a big fan of Tame Impala, I really like this band Yuck.
You mentioned there is the early 90s revival going on. Have you ever thought that the era of back and be a part of pop culture again?
Yes, it was about time. Pop culture and music seem to go in cycles and I think the digital age has made things a little faster but a sort of deep early 90s, that is going on, as if he knew it was going to happen right now.
