SUGAR On the heels of their first live shows together in decades, SUGAR and YouTube will premiere Changes: The Story of SUGAR on August 6, 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 will debut on YouTube at 12 Noon ET, Thursday, August 6 and will be followed immediately by a YouTube online Afterparty with Bob Mould. A trailer for the mini-documentary is out now and can be viewed here. 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.” WATCHCHANGES: THE STORY OF SUGAR Premiering on Thursday, Aug 6 https://youtu.be/Vl_vt9HTW4I 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. More information and tickets can be found here. 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 Tour dates and tickets: sugarcopperblue.com/shows 600 1st Ave, Ste 330 PMB 92768, Seattle, WA 98104-2246 Unsubscribe · Preferences

Footage from the first show?!! 🤯 

I have renewed hope that one day we'll get an official live release of one of the '93 Beaster shows...

Who is that in the video with the Sugar List t-shirt and how do I not have one of those?

The great and powerful Opu. :)

The shirts were a list thing from back in the mid-90s.

I doubt that I still have the... CorelDraw files somewhere but I will take a look. I cannot remember properly, did Sue T. took care of the "distribution" in the US back then?

Let's also give it up for Keiichi who probably got the most air time of anyone not in the band. 🙂 

[Opu Anwar]

😅 Thanks for the kind words Travis though I think the jury is very much still out on both counts! 

Seconded about Keiichi. That dude needs to have his own documentary about his life story too. For those that don't know, Keiichi was the band's guide around town when they played their last show in '95. He brought the flyers along to give to band as a gift!

I have absolutely no recollection about TJIAOU t-shirts. I'm sure, given how completist I was, I would have opted in. May have been during the summer holidays when I wouldn't have had access to my university e-mail account perhaps. 

Definitely would be interested if they could be produced again.

The 40 Watt footage from the first show was just amazing!

If only I had the presence of kind to bring a camera to the July 92 Maxwells gig, but forever grateful I brought my D3…

Does anyone know the first woman from Omaha? I met her earlier this year at an Omaha Narducy house show.

Yep, it was me -- I had the T-shirts printed and distributed.

I have moved a bunch of times since then, but I'm sure I still have my own T-shirt somewhere deep in a closet, along with my Sugar shorts (the promotional item from FU:EL).

That's funny. I don't think we talked about the mail list at all.
