I was able to go backstage at a Breeders show in Atlanta. She had lost her purse, which i found and gave to her. She gave me a signed Mountain Dew can. It was a good time. It was my first time being backstage like that.
The Breeders are an AMAZING band. I think my favorite song of theirs is “Saints”. My husband grew up in Dayton Ohio and ran in to Kelley years ago in a bar. She was sitting alone and he asked her when they were gonna come out with another album. She said that they were working on it and that it would be soon, but it wasn’t lol.
Saints, and No Aloha, push come to shove. I'll always love this band. There are various other fabulous tunes, but those 2 really stand out for whatever reason(s)
I just learned about "Saints" after watching an episode of "Resident Alien"... I fell in love with The Breeders all over again after finding the vid online!
As I age out I find myself listening to them more than I ever did in the 90’s It brings me back to the happiest days of my life. Though my life is pretty good today too.
Music largely sounds like overproduced trash nowadays, so you're not missing much. The benefit of now, vs the 90s, is that anything you want to hear you can hear instantly, without paying $10-20 for a single album, which was a lot of money in the 90s.
In 1993 I got drunk for the first time in my life. I passed out in front of someone’s TV-set while the Breeders’ Cannonball was blaring out on MTV. 🤘👍🤣
Pod is a landmark record and always in heavy rotation at our home. Steve Albini’s minimalist engineering and Britt’s (Slint) drumming make for a timeless listen.
I met Kim at a bar called the Ritz in the mid nineties after Last Splash came out. It’s now Joe Rogan’s comedy club in Austin, TX. She stumbled in through the back entrance and seemed wasted and disoriented looking for a bathroom. I told her how I saw them on Conan O’Brien and how she had broken a string. She shouted “that was my Sister”, pushed me backwards and ran off…true story.
The two seem to be a hot mess of substance abuse... Clearly smart (dad was a physicist so it's likely they were) and talented, hope they have their shit together now and are happy. Saw an recent interview with one of them a while back, she seemed pretty cool and down to earth. The pair were pretty attractive in their youth, almost a dead ringer for a girlfriend I had in the early/mid 90's.
How a bubble-gum punk band like Green Day is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame while amazing musicians like Kim Deal barely get a yawn is beyond logic.
Saw them in 2006 and they were terrible!!! Drunk off their ass, particularly Kim! Sounds "fun" but it wasn't. Kim let her friend go onstage and play a song they didn't rehearse while she smoked and drank on the side. It was a disaster. Good amount of people left including me and my friend. However......I did see them in 93 at the real lollapalooza and the they were great. The mosh pit starting doing a square dance to "Driving on 9" which was one of the most amazing things I'll ever see and wish I had a camera at the moment.
I had a strange crush on Kim Deal back in High School. She wasn't Hot. She wasn't ugly. She had this F*ck You Way about her that I loved... Plus I loved the Pixies and The Breeders...
Great info and research. Thank you. I wandered my way through Pixies history and then stumbled upon The Breeders. I was alive in the 90s but apparently living under a rock. Wow, what a story! Minor correction in your video, the 2018 album is "All Nerve" not "Last Nerve", unless I missed something.
In the 90s every band had a drug problem unfortunately, even my favorite ones. The fact it took you content creating monotone drones 30 years to realize it was drugs says something important about rock music.
@sippinthatestus It actually might have been 93. It was in utero tour in Springfield mass. We snuck over the barrier into general population lol. Better than our nosebleeds.
It seems to me as a kid growing up in the 80s that the "war on drugs" was really a war on my generation (genX) and drugs won...Growing up as a "criminal" has influenced me. I never share my real identity online nor do I have pictures of myself that can be tied to my identity. Been in jail for houseplants. Yep good times...I still won't take jobs that require driving or operating heavy machinery, because the only way they are gonna get me to pee in a jar is if they suck it first! This violation of the fourth amendment was legalized in 1988 when I was 16.
If you want a great drum sound, listen to The Fall. Mark E Smith always teached his drummers how NOT to drum, and it sounds amazing! Or listen to krautrock bands like Can, Neu! or Guru Guru, they had amazing style too! And Joy Division had a great drummer. Less is often better than too much, same with the guitar, too much notes or virtuosity doesn't make it always better.
“Frank Black” only rebooted the Pixies because he couldn’t make a good living as a solo act. Kim was held back in that band. Once she was out, I had zero interest
Saw them open for Nirvana in Jax FL but some clown in the crowd threw a shoe and it hit Kelly. Kim was pissed and took the band off stage just in their second song. Safari single was my first CD and still my favorite song along with Saints.
In the mid-nineties I worked at a record store in St Paul, MN and Kelley used to come in quite a bit. She was such a sweetheart. Still is, I'm sure! I was always happy to see her.
Last Splash is a fun album but rhat it outsold anything the Pixies made is ridiculous. Now history has put the Pixies in their well deserved place as icons selling out arenas while The Breeders barely make any significant noise. The harsh reality for Kim Deal's fans is that she wasnt that important in the Pixies except in her own mind.
My dad was a commander at Wright Patterson AFB in the '80's....that area is pretty much a hole, especially after growing up overseas mostly. Was back there in August for the 1st time in years, hasn't changed
I bought the first two albums by the Breeders when they came out. I didn't know they were fairly popular until recently. Kim is an amazing all around musician with a unique voice.
Kim in NOT my favorite member of the Pixies and gigantic is NOT my favorite song. in fact gigantic is one of my least favorites and I do love the Pixies. The Breeders are great though. I always like Belly too.
Sorry, this isn’t true. Saw Pixies in Detroit last night. It was an awesome show even without Kim not there. She was certainly missed, but it’s pretty self centered to think one person can ruin it for everyone. I think Kim has always had a lot of problems. Hence the addiction issues….those things usually stem from some kind of underlying trauma.
Saw them open for Nirvana, nobody ever wants to say that Nirvana never had a big draw and were horrible live. The venue had a capacity of 1400 and was far from sold out, I loved the Breeders set, left after 3 and a half Nirvana songs.
I read an interview with Kim where she said Kelly played lead guitar in the the band because " she can't make chords." All attitude, no skill or talent.
Saw them at Reading on the Sunday afternoon in 93. Glorious (yes) warm weather. They were amazing, even among a Sunday line-up full of bands I wanted to see. The bootleg recording I bought of the show is without doubt the best live recording - and most forceful, energetic performance - I have heard to this day.
I saw the breeders in Bay Town Texas Lollapalooza and they were so messed up they couldn’t get through the first song and then got booed off the stage.
I really wish they would record more new music. Sol Invictus is great! I wonder if those reunion shows the band had with Chuck did some lasting harm to the band.
I was able to go backstage at a Breeders show in Atlanta. She had lost her purse, which i found and gave to her. She gave me a signed Mountain Dew can. It was a good time. It was my first time being backstage like that.
Terrible trade.
@@toddmorrissey8372haha’ yeah totally’ 😂
I feel like "signed Mt Dew can" is something I don't want to look up.
You stole it though, didn't ya? 😊
That’s a great one!! Looks like she likes to autograph drinks. In San Diego she gave me a signed cerveza Modelo bottle!
Kim Deal is a national treasure. i love the breeders. always have. i saw them play back in 18 and they were amazing. great video! thanks !
good musician . . . yes. national treasures aren't in and out of drug rehab.
The Amps - Pacer is an AMAZING album.🙌
Criminally underrated album.
Saw them last year and honestly they're better now than they ever were. Sound was amazing, they played and sang perfectly.
Saw them open for Nirvana November 93 in Philly. They were one of many opening acts for Nirvana. The crowd went berserk at Cannonball.
cool, i saw them in Montreal at Lalapalooza with the smashing pumpkins ; awesome festival
Same, in St Paul a month later.
They went berserk? I wonder why? The song is not that impressive. Maybe they were all on dope or something?
@@JF-iq1yx What impressive song have you written?
@@JF-iq1yx Tell us you are eleven years old without saying "Hey, pay attention to me, I'm eleven years old !"
The Pixies just aren’t the same without her
Yeah I agree. It’s not the Pixies without Kim
As good as Paz was and whoever replaces her of course we wish well, this statement is very true.
Ive always loved divine hammer over cannonball
The Breeders are an AMAZING band. I think my favorite song of theirs is “Saints”. My husband grew up in Dayton Ohio and ran in to Kelley years ago in a bar.

saints is my favourite breeders song too, love it to bits.
I just learned about "Saints" after watching an episode of "Resident Alien"... I fell in love with The Breeders all over again after finding the vid online!
Cannonball was an amazing 90’s classic! So catchy.
The Deal sisters and Tanya Donelly. My 90s crush trifecta.
omg Tonya Donelly made my 90's !
Saw them open for Foo Fighters earlier this year and they still kick ass!
She worked in a lab??
Saw them in London this week. Very good 😃
Meet Kim and Kelly at a datyon restaurant! Very nice and sweet!
I was wondering when you were going to do a video on the breeders. Thank you.
Driving on 9 is a beautiful song.
As I age out I find myself listening to them more than I ever did in the 90’s It brings me back to the happiest days of my life. Though my life is pretty good today too.

Saw The Breeders with Lucious Jackson at the Opera House in Toronto back in the fall off 1993. Great great show
Great stories venue too! Saw Nirvana & The Melvins there in old '91, & The Jesus Lizard in, I think, 1993. Love that space! 🦃
Aw, I bet that was a good show. Lucky!
The Amps album is my favorite 90s album. It’s criminally underrated.

I just saw then in Brooklyn Aug 2023 sounded great saw them also in Nov 1993 opening up for Nirvana saw them 5 times love them
I remember this band pretty well. Always wondered what happened thanks for the video
Brit walford is sick as hell. Bit of a mouth breather tho
I like him just fine...
@@michelleneeds4165 don't get me wrong , he's a nice guy !
I LOVE The Breeders, Title TK is my favorite record, produced by Albini, is an underrated masterpiece!
But the drumming is terrible
What is it with the musicians and narcotics... everyone thinks they can walk the line
How a bubble-gum punk band like Green Day is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame while amazing musicians like Kim Deal barely get a yawn is beyond logic.
1:16 …couldn’t play bass but quickly learned….how often do we hear that?
the entire music industry is a put up.
Bass is easy to learn.
@@eiephants if nikki sixx can learn it, so can any toddler
@@ImaRockStarPRso no-one can play it?
@@satansalley6526 everyone can be a rockstar bassist
Saw them in 2006 and they were terrible!!!
Drunk off their ass, particularly Kim!
Sounds "fun" but it wasn't.

That look was probably a heroin stupor.....
That musta been cool going to high school with her.
@@Chuck.s_EviI_MustacheI believe he was just high school age 😅
I love the song Saints ~ Sober is ready when you are!
I did listen to Pod by Kurt's recommendation. Lyrically not that great but it was good music
Summer is ready
I saw them open for Arcade Fire a few years ago. Good stuff
Best show I’ve ever seen: Pixies, OG lineup. Asbury Park, NJ.
Great info and research. Thank you. I wandered my way through Pixies history and then stumbled upon The Breeders. I was alive in the 90s but apparently living under a rock. Wow, what a story! Minor correction in your video, the 2018 album is "All Nerve" not "Last Nerve", unless I missed something.
These guys are coming to Australia next year and I got tix!!!
Breeders > Pixies
All day long
I think the Amps album is the best thing Kim Deal has done.
Title tk has always been my favorite drums sound ever
In the 90s every band had a drug problem unfortunately, even my favorite ones. The fact it took you content creating monotone drones 30 years to realize it was drugs says something important about rock music.
Saw them open for nirvana in 94. Decent enough I guess.
Me too in November, Philly. I thought it was 93 tho?
@sippinthatestus It actually might have been 93. It was in utero tour in Springfield mass. We snuck over the barrier into general population lol. Better than our nosebleeds.
That first album was great. Kim always seemed cool.
They are playing Glastonbury this weekend and also in Bristol.
Is "Breeder" a bad word for real. I see a woman with 8 kids i say shes a breeder . Wow didn't know i was being mean. Thought i was pointing out a fact
I met The Breeders at The Glass House in 2000ish? Idk I was 10 and it was such a fun experience, they were all so kind.
Great band with a lot of talented people.
She has never said she felt sidelined she always said her roll was the bass player in the pixies that’s it .
their latest album is not last nerve, its all nerve.
It seems to me as a kid growing up in the 80s that the "war on drugs" was really a war on my generation (genX) and drugs won...Growing up as a "criminal" has influenced me.

RIP STEVE ALBINI
The Breeders are better than Pixies. Change my mind.
Doolittle.
Don't care
Change your tampon
Totally agree.
Breeders send the pixies home on a stretcher brah brah
If you want a great drum sound, listen to The Fall. Mark E Smith always teached his drummers how NOT to drum, and it sounds amazing!

Just listen to what Frank Black has to say about working with her, I couldn’t do it!
“Frank Black” only rebooted the Pixies because he couldn’t make a good living as a solo act. Kim was held back in that band. Once she was out, I had zero interest
What has he said?
I thought the attention Kim was getting, was detracting focus on the Band. Never get a "hot" Bassist!
Where can we see what he said?
@@mnky75hot bassist?! BRUH
Without the breeders humanity wouldn’t exist.
They did not look like rock stars. They looked like ordinary women.
One hit wonder !! Crap !!
Dude thanks for the video but you GOTTA separate your sentences when u talk
Saw them open for Nirvana in Jax FL but some clown in the crowd threw a shoe and it hit Kelly. Kim was pissed and took the band off stage just in their second song. Safari single was my first CD and still my favorite song along with Saints.
In the mid-nineties I worked at a record store in St Paul, MN and Kelley used to come in quite a bit. She was such a sweetheart. Still is, I'm sure! I was always happy to see her.
What is it with bands and changing members like underwear ? Pehaps some body could . . . write a song ?
Didn't Kim date Robert Pollard (GBV) for a short time?
Uh just to bring you up to speed Kim Deal already knew how to play the guitar . Terrible you left that out .
I like the Ewok-praying-to-C-3PO opening of that one song.. 😉
Haven't heard it in a while but I always thought Title TK was pretty good
Last Splash is a fun album but rhat it outsold anything the Pixies made is ridiculous.
Now history has put the Pixies in their well deserved place as icons selling out arenas while The Breeders barely make any significant noise.
The harsh reality for Kim Deal's fans is that she wasnt that important in the Pixies except in her own mind.
what point are you trying to make lol?
I don't get it either
My dad was a commander at Wright Patterson AFB in the '80's....that area is pretty much a hole, especially after growing up overseas mostly. Was back there in August for the 1st time in years, hasn't changed
It's a shame. I had two uncles that lived in Dayton and Trotwood. In the 70's it was a beautiful place. Now it's a complete sh!thole
I met them at work at Indigo in Wellington and they were delightful. A dream.
I bought the first two albums by the Breeders when they came out. I didn't know they were fairly popular until recently.
Kim is an amazing all around musician with a unique voice.
the deals were privileged brats really, but breeders were a joke compared to pixies
I loved The Breeders. Such a great band
The name of the breeders last album was called All nerve not last nerve.
Kim in NOT my favorite member of the Pixies and gigantic is NOT my favorite song. in fact gigantic is one of my least favorites and I do love the Pixies. The Breeders are great though. I always like Belly too.
Dayton! No wonder they were so original.
Title TK I thought was brilliant
Kim played guitar already, it is not like she didn't know how to play when she joined Pixies.
and they are nothing without her. 😁
sorry, Francis.
Sorry, this isn’t true. Saw Pixies in Detroit last night. It was an awesome show even without Kim not there. She was certainly missed, but it’s pretty self centered to think one person can ruin it for everyone. I think Kim has always had a lot of problems.

All Nerve is a hell of an album….
The Briefers....
I PLAYED ON DRIVING ON 9
THE BAND WAS EASY GOING AND VERY OPEN TO MY IDEAS ON THE SONG
CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042 USA
It's "alcohol and other drugs" not "drugs and alcohol" which is a lie. Alcohol is a drug.
I bought the _The Amps_ album "Pacer" when it came out. And I also bought their single "Tipp City".
I think they both are great!
Cool, thanks. When’s the next album coming out though? I’m having withdrawals!
I love you Kim.
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great video as always. Some real nuggets in here! Also, never seen that Sugar Cubes pic before.
I’m her 2nd cousin 2x removed my grandma met them at a family reunion when they were 19 they are extremely close relatives to me.
Britt could have a backstory about what he did from all of his bands like The Breeders and Slint
Saw them open for Nirvana, nobody ever wants to say that Nirvana never had a big draw and were horrible live. The venue had a capacity of 1400 and was far from sold out, I loved the Breeders set, left after 3 and a half Nirvana songs.
I read an interview with Kim where she said Kelly played lead guitar in the the band because " she can't make chords." All attitude, no skill or talent.
Didn't they have a great life according to your reporting. Why the heroin chasing?
I still have the biggest crush on Kim from the first time I seen her in the breeders I followed her around like a puppy for years
😮
Saw them at Reading on the Sunday afternoon in 93. Glorious (yes) warm weather. They were amazing, even among a Sunday line-up full of bands I wanted to see.

Tanya Donnelly....mmmmmm😊
Here's what I feel, just want girl as cool as Kim Deal.
Any subscriber ever noticed this channel’s narrator sounds a lot like Michael Cera ?
Cannonball had the most iconic base line of the 90s 😊
Finally I’m a rock star….where’s the heroin?
Kim Deal is my second favorite Kim to play with the Pixies.
