About
The Breeders, an iconic American alternative rock band hailing from Dayton, Ohio, recently graced the Tiny Desk stage with a nostalgic and energetic performance. Lead by the charismatic Kim Deal with her sister Kelley by her side, the band showcased a renewed love and goofiness that permeated their set. Known for their breakout album "Last Splash" in 1993, The Breeders returned to an old lineup with Josephine Wiggs and Jim Macpherson joining the Deal sisters.
Formed in 1989 by Kim Deal and Tanya Donelly, The Breeders have had a tumultuous yet successful journey in the music industry. After Deal focused on The Breeders following the Pixies breakup in 1993, the band reached commercial success with "Last Splash," which featured the hit single "Cannonball." Despite a hiatus in 1994 due to personal struggles, including drug and alcohol issues, the band regrouped in the late 1990s and released more albums, including "Title TK" and "Mountain Battles." Their most recent album, "All Nerve," was released in 2018, marking the return of the classic Breeders lineup.
At the Tiny Desk concert, The Breeders captivated the audience with their infectious alt-pop sound and unique stage antics, such as using a roadie as a crash cymbal and Kim Deal playfully scolding Josephine Wiggs for starting a wind-up toy before a song. The performance highlighted the band's enduring musical prowess and the undeniable chemistry between the members. The Breeders' legacy in the alternative rock scene remains intact, with their music continuing to resonate with fans old and new.
