TIL: Sugar is technically an Athens band.
|
After frontman Bob Mould departed from Hüsker Du, he released two solo ventures, the critically acclaimed Workbook as well as Black Sheets of Rain. Mould parted ways with Virgin Records in 1991, and toured the world as a solo performer while writing and performing dozens of new songs. Mould enlisted David Barbe and Malcolm Travis as the rhythm section for future recording sessions.
In early 1992, Mould, Barbe and Travis rehearsed thirty songs in the back of a tire shop in downtown Athens, Georgia. The band was named in a Waffle House restaurant in Athens, when Mould spotted a sugar packet on the table where he and the other two band members were sitting. Their first concert was on February 20, 1992, at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia.
