On his most recent record, 2009’s Life and Times, Bob Mould sang, “What the fuck, what kicked up all this dust / taking me back to the places I left behind / the old life and times.” The postpunk icon, who went from the seminal Hüsker Dü in the 1980s to the fierce Sugar in the ’90s to a solo career and nightclub DJ this past decade, further examines his life and times in his just-released memoir, See a Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody (Little, Brown, June 15, $24.99). In the book, Mould discusses childhood abuse, his homosexuality, drug and alcohol addiction, and his deep love of championship wrestling and music; he began writing songs when he was nine and has, thankfully, never stopped. He’ll be at 92YTribeca on June 23, reading from his book, playing songs, and talking about his life in an intimate gathering that should be simply fascinating and extremely entertaining. Whether blasting loud music till black stuff oozes out his ears or revealing unique aspects of his life, Mould never disappoints.
