The iconic alternative rock trio led by Bob Mould alongside bassist David Barbe and drummer Malcolm Travis – share a new single, “Keep Looping.” The track follows Sugar’s highly acclaimed recent singles “Long Live Love” and “House of Dead Memories.”

Of the new track, Mould notes: “Living in SF, I have a love/hate relationship with AI. It’s bringing my City back to life, but at what cost to society and the environment? And do we trust the current regime to do the right thing with this new tech? The new song has more snarl, and the lyrics say it all: A touch of dopamine. The steady beat of the drum. Get used to the constant hum of the Lie.” 

“‘Keep Looping’ might be my favorite of the new Sugar songs. Just like so many other things that quite literally keep looping in my head, this song gets stuck in my brain quite a bit,” says Barbe. “The combination of the intensity of the main riff and the elevation of the bridge checks a lot of boxes for me. As was the case with “House of Dead Memories” and “Long Live Love,” I am stoked for it to finally be unleashed for public consumption.”

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.

Travis says, “You can’t imagine how surreal this whole experience has been so far. The travel, meeting fans, young and old…the fact that we are even playing together again. A total thrill.”

“Thank goodness for live music,” Mould adds, “It’s been a joy to be on the road with Sugar. Hardly any phones out. Audiences fully engaged with what’s happening on stage. That makes me hopeful for the future.”
