Bob Mould performs at 9:30 Club (815 V St., N.W.) Wednesday at 7 p.m. in celebration of the 25th anniversary of his first solo album “Workbook.”
Mould, who is openly gay, formed rock band Husker Du in the late 1970s. The band has been credited for inspiring fellow rock bands Nirvana and the Pixies. After the breakup of the band, Mould went solo with “Workbook” in 1989. The album led to other solo ventures including “Black Sheets of Rain.” He went on to form the band Sugar in 1990s. Mould will be joined by former CODEINE drummer Chris Brokaw for an opening act. He DJ’ed at the Club for years with the Blowoff! parties.
Tickets are $25. For details, visit 930.com.
