Photography: Bob Mould @ The Electric Ballroom

by | Jun 14, 2013

Bob Mould is one of my all-time favourite guitarists and performers. I was at his first solo shows in London when Workbook came out. Then (1989) he climbed to the top of the massive speakers columns and played I See A Little Light. Now he still moves around at an erratic pace and but climbing the stacks is perhaps too much.

On the Silver Age tour Bob still has the gritty angst of a man with a hundred mile-an-hour thought going through his head and the trade mark jerky moves and strumming through scales playing means that it is very difficult to take your eyes of him. He never really plays a regular chord does he?
