New Mini Doc ‘Changes: The Story of Sugar’ Chronicles The Band’s Origins And Reunion

Sugar has released Changes: The Story of SUGAR, 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.

Produced and directed by Rob Hatch-Miller 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.

“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.”
