The Breeders

In the early 1990s, The Breeders went from being a one-off side project for Pixies bassist Kim Deal to being a full-time going concern when the other group broke up. Featuring a sound that combined punchy, punk guitars and the sweet, almost candy-like harmonies of Deal and her sister Kelly, the Breeders ended up calling it a damn amid legal problems and record company hassles.Last year, however, marked the 20th anniversary of the band's breakthrough album, Last Splash, and newly reformed and energized, they've taken to road performing that record in its entirety, as well as a good slate of new material expected to appear soon on a new record.
On stage, the bouncing effervescence of that the Deal sisters displayed in the band's first go-round is still very much a part of their charm in a live setting. Counterpointed by bassist Josephine Wiggs's ice queen stage presence and Jim McPherson's booming drums, the band sounds tighter today than perhaps they ever did in their original go-round.
Performing Last Splash live in the original CD's running order means that their biggest hits, “Cannon Ball” and “Divine Hammer”, show up fairly early in the set. That being said, newer material and a few well-chosen covers (especially a wonderfully creative version of The Beatles' “Happiness Is A Warm Gun”) fill out the evening nicely and make for an amazing concert experience.

What a great show!
We arrived and the First band “Melk Belly”
Who really rocked it was a pleasant surprise cause usually your just thinking can we just get to the band we want to see and we’re just awesome and a good pairing to line up with Thd Breeders!

So The Breeders take the stage and Kim and Kelly were in great moods and it just spred threw out the audience and just seem to make everyone feel a connection.
They actually new what city they were in and told some stories and just rocked it,Kim even noticed my 2005 Pixies tour t-shirt and comented on it and at the end of the show Kim hands me her set list!

I can’t think of it getting much better than that,except The National ofwhich anyone we ran into was very cool,but when the first band went on i noticed that the stage pa speakers weren’t on and I even went and told the sound guy,there apparently is a short in the power source for them as they kept cutting on and off throughout most of the show there for we couldn’t hear most of what they were saying because the main PA system is aimed out on the sides and we were right in the middle of front stage so what you could here was just the slap back from the main PA which was a bummer but beyond that what a GREAT Night!

It was a wonderful night that flew by too quickly. Kim glows with joy when she plays and sings--it's hard to take your eyes off her. The sister vibes and good-natured joking amongst band members was much fun. Enjoyed Josephine's deadpan reactions to Kim's jokes. Such a warm feeling. They played and sang beautifully, with love for the music and for the crowd. I had a great view, and it was so cool to watch the little details of how guitar parts are played. Both new and old songs were played with inspiration. Go see them if you can!
I also got a signed copy of their new album!

FrEaKiNg fantastic! Hot as hell & twice as fun. It was an stand out show, The Breeders were on top form.

Setlist was great & the performance was packed with energy. One of the best shows I've seen at Bristol Academy.

The opening act Pip Blom were also great, really interesting riffs, vocals, rhythms, will be checking them out. All around awesome!

The show had 110% studio quality sound. They really enjoyed being up there as they played. They were always smiling. They were very appreciative of their fan base cheering them on in the crowd! We met them after the show. They were super friendly and happily signed our swag!

Mellow and relaxed, Kim seemed to enjoy and have fun and that vibe is contagious. The Danes do have to be warmed up some. Slowly the show just got better and better ending with some magical moments. Kims voice has something very special. Very happy with that evening

They. Were. Awesome. Enjoyed every single minute and song. He opening band Flasher was good as well, but the Breeders were so much fun and I enjoyed their giddiness at being on stage. They looked like they enjoyed being on stage. Loved!!!

Great show and nice venue! The "Sleigh'r" beer was really good. The Breeders played older songs and a few newer ones from Mountain Battles plus one I didn't recognize.

I was extra excited to hear Happiness is a Warm Gun and Drivin' on 9!

Amazing show! Fun, laid back, and the perfect blend of old and new tunes. Scoot Inn is a great venue, it felt a bit like we were listening to old friends play in someone's backyard. Would definitely see the band and visit the venue again.

I remember the first BDO back in the early 90s they were insane then.... not a lot has changed. Fantastic gig ! New songs were awesome! Would definitely go again. Powerstation was a perfect venue
