A potent reminder of Husker Du's prominent role in popular modern music, The Living End, is a twenty-four song collection recorded live during one of the groups final tours in October 1987, scheduled for release by Warner Bros. Records in mid- April.

Produced by Husker Du and their soundman Lou Giordano, with extensive liner notes by Rolling Stone Music Editor David Fricke, The Living End features live versions of essential Husker Du originals from every album and phase of their career, such as the early single, "In A Free Land"; a superior performance of "Data Control" from their very early live release, Land Speed Record; "It's Not Funny Anymore" from the EP, Metal Circus; "What's Going On" from their landmark breakthrough album Zen Arcade; "Celebrated Summer," "Terms of Psychic Warfare" and the title track from New Day Rising; "Divide and Conquer" and "Keep Hanging On" from Flip Your Wig; "Hardly Getting Over It" from their Warner Bros. debut, Candy Apple Grey; and a slew of selections from their last studio release, Warehouse: Songs and Stories. Other highlights include to previously unrecorded originals, "Now That You Know Me" (Hart) and "Ain't No Water In The Well" (Mould), and the only cover, the Ramones' "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker." Recording sites include Toronto, Montreal, New Haven, Providence, New York, and Washington, D.C.

Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould, drummer/vocalist Grant Hart, and bassist/vocalist Greg Norton, Husker Du were formed in Minneapolis, St. Paul, circa 1979. Widely regarded as one of the best and most influential American bands, Husker Du's records routinely resided near the top of the college and alternative charts. Album releases include: Everything Falls Apart and More, a Rhino Records collection of the band's earliest self releases (Reflex Records); five albums for punk rock indie landmark, SST Records (Land Speed Record, Metal Circus, Zen Arcade, New Day Rising, and Flip Your Wig); and two Warner Bros. albums, Candy Apple Grey and Warehouse: Songs and Stories. In addition to sold out tours of the U.S. and Europe, promotion for Warehouse included TV appearances on The Today Show and on Joan Rivers' short-lived late night talk-show (Fox). The band broke up over creative and personal differences in late 1987.

Since then, Bob Mould has release two solo albums on Virgin Records (Workbook & Black Sheets of Rain) and now fronts his new band, Sugar. Sugar's Rykodisc debut album Copper Blue, and the follow-up EP Beaster, were among 1993's most notable and successful alternative, independent releases.

Grant Hart released several well-received solo projects on SST Records (2541, Intolerance and All of My Senses), before forming his current band, Nova Mob. After releasing their highly acclaimed debut album, The Last Days of Pompeii, on the now-defunct Rough Trade Records (US), and a handful of collector's single since, Nova Mob have now signed with Restless Records for North & South America and with Rough Trade World Services (Germany) for Europe. Their new album is scheduled for a May release.

Greg Norton's burgeoning career as a big-time chef at Table of Contents, an upscale St. Paul restaurant, is chronicled in the current issue of Option magazine (March/April '94, "Where Have All the Punkers Gone?"). Greg continues to write songs and play bass in his new band, "Acoustic Tragedies", formed with guitarist/songwriter Cam Waters. They will be hitting the road at the end of April.
