Bob Mould Band
with Poster Children
at Palace Theatre
first-avenue.com

Bob Mould (billed as Bob Mould Band) is touring in support of Mould’s 15th solo album Here We Go Crazy (via Granary Music/BMG Records).

Talking about the lead single “Neanderthal”, Mould said, “In the early stages of writing this album, I envisioned ‘Neanderthal’ as the opening track. I imagined a child raised in an unstable home, perpetually exposed to erratic and confrontational behavior. A fight or flight situation. ‘Neanderthal’ is a frantic sprint through darkened hallways littered with tension, conflict, and aggression. A claustrophobic maze of distorted mirrors. As the song nears the end, a pair of subconscious voices appear. The first voice is both soothing and unsettling, while the final voice is reactionary and violent. It’s a fight or flight song.”

Expect to hear that song at the upcoming Palace Theatre show on April 19, 2025.

Poster Children to open.
