About this concert
The Breeders ont marqué la révolution du rock alternatif du début des années 90 avec leur mélange volatile de pop accrocheuse et d'expérimentations. C’est en 1992 que Kim Deal alors bassiste des Pixies, Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs et Jim Macpherson ont joué leur premier concert dans une salle de billard dans le nord de l’Angleterre. Deux jours plus tard, ils font la première partie de Nirvana à Dublin et à Belfast. De retour aux États-Unis, après avoir joué 27 concerts à guichets fermés, ils se sont rendus à San Francisco pour enregistrer Last Splash. Sorti le 30 août 1993, les critiques ont décrit cet album comme « effervescent », « époustouflant » et « incohérent ». Il a très vite conquis son public avec le célèbre titre ‘Cannonball’. L’album a rapidement atteint le statut de disque de platine au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis. Last Splash a eu 30 ans l’année dernière, pour fêter ça, le disque a été remasterisé pour la première fois et contient deux titres inédits, ‘Go Man Go’ et une nouvelle version de ‘Divine Hammer’. Pour l’occasion The Breeders fait son grand retour en live avec une date à Paris à la Cigale le 9 Juillet 2024.

The Breeders Biography
The Breeders are an American rock band, formed in 1988 by Kim Deal of Pixies and Throwing Muses' Tanya Donelly. After those original bands became less active, The Breeders became more important to both artists. A tape was sent of their original demos to Ivo Watts-Russell, who immediately signed the band to his 4AD label in 1989. Their debut album, "Pod", was recorded by Steve Albini and released on 4AD in 1990. Deal's influence is obvious, but bassist Josephine Wiggs and Slint drummer Britt Walford (credited here as Shannon Doughton) add to the ensemble sound.
By the release of the four-song EP "Safari" in 1992, Deal was done with Pixies and had enlisted her twin sister Kelley Deal to play guitar for the Breeders. Donelly exited the band to form Belly, and drummer Jim MacPherson joined in time for "Last Splash" in 1993. The album spawned the hit "Cannonball."
In 1995, Kelley Deal was involved in a drug bust, so sister Kim formed the side project The Amps with MacPherson, bassist Luis Lerma (member of Dayton, Ohio band The Tasties) and guitarist Nate Farley, who later joined Guided by Voices. The Amps released the album "Pacer" in October of 1995. Following drug rehab, Kelley started the Kelley Deal 6000 and also formed the unlikely Last Hard Men with Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach, ex-The Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, and Jimmy Flemion of The Frogs.
Rumours of Kim Deal reuniting with the original band continued to circulate in the 90s, although the only material to surface was a cover of "Collage," recorded for The Mod Squad soundtrack in 1999. The Deal sisters recruited new personnel to play several live shows in 2001, and returned to the studio with guitarist Richard Presley, bass player Mando Lopez and drummer Jose Medeles to record the third Breeders studio album "Title TK" with Steve Albini.
The Breeders were also recruited, in early 2002, to perform in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They were approached by the production staff, after they had been performing the show's theme, originally written by Nerf Herder, as a regular part of their concert set for a long time. The episode is entitled Him, and aired November 5th of 2002.
In 2004, Warner Music Group announced plans to drop the Breeders from their label following low album sales of "Title TK." The decision came with Warner's plans to drop several other artists as well.
The new album called "Mountain Battles" was released in the first half of 2008. The band lineup is the same as Title TK, minus Richard Presley.
