| Today, SUGAR debuts Changes: The Story of SUGAR, a 20-minute mini documentary chronicling the history of the band, from their first practice sessions in the early 90s to their three sold-out Webster Hall shows this past May. The documentary premieres on YouTube at 12 Noon ET today and will be followed immediately by a YouTube online Afterparty with Bob Mould. Produced and directed by Rob Hatch-Miller (Other Music, Syl Johnson: Any Way The Wind Blows) and filmed entirely over the course of SUGAR’s run at Webster Hall, the documentary features archival footage, sit-down interviews with members Bob Mould, David Barbe and Malcolm Travis, snippets from Mould’s memoir, “See A Little Light: The Trail Of Rage And Melody,” and special guest appearances. The film was edited by Greg King (The Elephant 6 Recording Co, Louder Than You Think: A Lo-Fi History Of Gary Young & Pavement) and shot by cinematographer Paul Yee (Reality, Joy Ride), who has also previously collaborated with Hatch-Miller on music videos for the New Pornographers, Wild Flag, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Real Estate, Aimee Mann, Frankie Cosmos, and Titus Andronicus. “It seems to have been one of the happiest eras of Bob’s life,” said Hatch-Miller. “We found so much great archival footage, like Lance Bangs’ never-before-seen video of the band’s first show ever at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, footage of Bob’s solo acoustic European festival tour with Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr. and Nirvana in 1991, and so many clips of Bob and the band on MTV’s 120 Minutes, where they were so warmly embraced and brought to a mainstream television audience.” As Mould says in the film, “I tend to be identified most with Hüsker Dü and my solo albums, but few know the half of how much fun I had with Sugar.” WATCH CHANGES: THE STORY OF SUGARATTEND THE ONLINE AFTERPARTY WITH BOB MOULD With the triumphant European leg of their Love You Even Still World Tour wrapped up, the band is eagerly gearing up for their North American shows, which begin on August 11 in Denver and feature 24 dates across the U.S., including three sold out nights at First Avenue in Minneapolis MN and two shows at Union Transfer in Philadelphia PA, while also hitting Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington D.C, Boston, New York, and Atlanta, with the final date being October 24 in Athens, GA. A portion of each ticket purchase will be donated to The Trevor Project, the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit organization for LGBTQ+ young people.

| PRAISE FOR SUGAR:“…an incendiary and very memorable show…”–Goldmine “The trio play with an intensity and volume that never relents. Mould throttles his Stratocaster as though he caught it breaking into his house.”–Louder “It should come as no surprise that they’re still this good.”–Louder Than War |
