Bob Mould looks back on Husker Du with 'rage and melody'

St. Paul, Minn. — Bob Mould, co-founder of the seminal Minneapolis punk band Hüsker Dü, as well as the hit-making alt rock group Sugar, has written an autobiography. It's called "See a Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody."

Mould's "trail" began 50 years ago in his childhood home in upstate New York.

Early on he knew he was very musical. He also knew he was gay — something his neglectful mother and abusive father wouldn't tolerate. So he fled to St. Paul and Macalester College, where he eventually met his Hüsker Dü bandmates, drummer Grant Hart and bassist Greg Norton.

Soon, the sonic storm that was Hüsker Dü's sound took shape. It was a blinding rhythm combined with Mould's primal howl singing style, and guitar chords that sounded like a disturbed hornet's nest.

Bob Mould describes those early gigs in his autobiography, "See a Little Light."

"People who saw me scowling and lurching around the stage back then probably wondered what was going on inside my brain," Mould wrote. "It just felt like loose electricity was flying through my hands and off the guitar, and it sounded like my head was being riddled with pellets of ice. It was almost like being locked in the trunk of a car during a massive hailstorm."

"There were three very unique individuals in that band, and when we came together there was a certain energy and creativity that was very healthy," Mould said. "We had an us-versus-them mentality we established very early on, and when people read the book they'll see instances all along the way.

Specifically myself and Grant Hart, I mean very similar in some ways, yet we couldn't have been more different people. That was a healthy ying and yang for a long time," Mould said. "The last 18 months of the band, everybody drifted apart. They had major life changes that they chose, and we had very little in common in the end. But when it was really good it was great. When it was bad, it was terrible.
