Bob Mould has unveiled a new video for "The War" off his critically-lauded album Beauty & Ruin (Merge). The video, which captures the sweaty, rollicking shows Bob and his band are known to put on, as well as other aspects of touring life, is directed by Dave Markey (1991: The Year Punk Broke). Stay tuned until the grand finale, when a special guest makes a sly appearance. Join Bob and his bandmates Jason Narducy and Jon Wurster on tour in "The War".
Bob and director Dave Markey will chat with fans on September 9 at 3:30pm EST during a Reddit AMA session. Ask Bob and Dave any burning questions you have pertaining to the new video, Beauty & Ruin, the history of Punk Rock or just about anything else.
Experience the exciting and cathartic nature of Bob's live show when he brings it to a nearby city. As the Minneapolis Star Tribune witnessed over Labor Day Weekend during a secret show that was announced the day prior and took a mere10 minutes to sell out:
"Mould didn’t allow his bandmates time to catch their breath during most of the first set before tearing into the next song. There was even less room in the second run... he struggled to read the set list at his feet toward show’s end, but that was because he had to take off his glasses. No exaggeration: The lenses kept fogging up from the steam coming off the stage."
Live Nation and Yahoo will be live-streaming the September 5 kick-off of Bob and the band’s next run of dates in its entirety live from the Theatre of the Living Arts in Philadelphia. This Bob Mould event is one of 365 concerts to stream over a 12-month period on the Live Nation Channel on Yahoo Screen, and will go live at 10:10pm EST/7:10pm PST on September 5 at https://screen.yahoo.com/live/event/bob-mould.
Bob and his band will be making stops in the US and Europe throughout the fall. See where they are heading next by visiting http://bobmould.com/tour/.
