Lauded noise rockers HÜSKER DÜ (1979–1988) come
up with a live album named TONITE LONGHORN

It’s a collection of previously unheard live performances taken from
the early days of their career from across four different shows that took
place between July 1979 and September 1980 at Jay’s Longhorn Bar in their
hometown of Minneapolis.

The album (CD/Digital) will be out on 25 August via their own Reflex Records.

But a limited-edition 2xLP vinyl will already be available on this year’s
Record Store Day, April 22. It has original artwork by drummer Grant Hart
and liner notes from ex-Sonic Youth hero Thurston Moore.

Bob Mould (HD’s singer/guitarist) “Most artists begin their careers by looking to their heroes for inspiration. ‘Tonite Longhorn’ is a comprehensive overview of three teenagers paying homage, experimenting with different genres, and — most importantly — building a foundation for things to come. We knew what we had: good chemistry, great melodies and harmonies, and an overabundance of young (and sometimes dumb) enthusiasm. We knew we were different, and we knew we were on to something different.”

One of the 28 tracks: Do You Remember?
