Legendary musician Bob Mould announces his “Distortion and Blue
Hearts!” tour starting September 16, 2021, in Boston at Paradise. The
tour is in two parts. For the first three weeks, Bob will be joined by
Jason Narducy on bass and drummer Jon Wurster. Beginning October 15 in
Bloomington, IL, Mould will perform “Solo Distortion” electric shows
(full run of dates and locations below).
On July 16, 2021, before
any tour dates happen, Demon Music Group will conclude their year-long
Bob Mould retrospective campaign with their fourth vinyl box,
Distortion: Live. The 8 LP set includes live recordings from Mould’s
solo career and his band Sugar.

This
box follows October 2020’s 8 LP Distortion: 1989-1995 vinyl set, which
took in Mould’s early solo outings as well as his records with the
much-beloved Sugar, January 2021’s 9 LP Distortion: 1996-2007 box set
continuing through the next steps in Mould’s solo career and his outings
as LoudBomb and Blowoff, April 2021’s 7 LP Distortion 2008-2019
covering District Line to Sunshine Rock, and the 24 CD Distortion:
1989-2019 box, which covers the entirety of his post-Hüsker Dü output.
Mould’s
live shows will span his entire 40+ year career, including songs from
the Distortion collection and from his landmark band Hüsker Dü, as well
as songs from last year’s explosive and critically acclaimed album Blue
Hearts — about which Rolling Stone’s 4 out of 5 star review raved,
“feels like a lost Hüsker Dü album with Mould howling invective over his
buzzsawing guitar.”
“It’s been a year and a half away from the
stage. I’ve missed the noise, the sweat, and seeing your smiling faces.
I’m fully vaccinated, and I hope you are too, because this Fall will be a
punk rock party with the band — and the solo shows will be loud and
proud as well. It’s time to make up lost time, reconnect, and celebrate
together with live music!”
As with the previously released box
sets in the Distortion collection, each album has been mastered by Jeff
Lipton and Maria Rice at Peerless Mastering in Boston and is presented
with brand new artwork designed by illustrator Simon Marchner and
pressed on 140g clear vinyl with unique splatter effects. This box set
includes 4 live albums: Live At The Cabaret Metro, 1989; the Sugar album
The Joke Is Always On Us, Sometimes; LiveDog98 (first time on vinyl),
and Live at ATP 2008 (first time on vinyl). In addition, the set
includes a 28-page companion booklet featuring liner notes by journalist
Keith Cameron; contributions from Bully’s Alicia Bognanno; rare
photographs and memorabilia, and a bonus LP Distortion Plus: Live, which
features live rarities including B-Sides and stand-out tracks from the
Circle of Friends concert film.
