The Breeders & Whispertown 2000 @ Bowery Ballroom - pics

August 20, 2009

“Taking the stage were Kim and her sister Kelley along with the newer faces (including the drum and bass tandem of Jose Meledes and Mando Lopez, and guitarist Cheryl “from Florida” Lyndsey). They started off with the trippy “Hoverin'”, an Amps song and went newer with Title TK, and then backward with cuts off of Last Splash and Pod. I personally wanted to see them play “Hellbound” and “Fortunately Gone”, which tops my favorite Breeders songs, but they did play “I Decided” which I love. All the bigger songs got their turn, “Saints”, “Cannonball”, their cover of “Happiness is a Warm Gun”, “Divine Hammer”, “Safari”. The sheer thrill of songs like “New Year” with an intense, buzzing guitar section really makes for a powerful set.” [Kings County Bop]

So, as I was saying, The Breeders played two shows in NYC this week. The above review snippet is from Tuesday night’s show at Bowery Ballroom. The pictures are from Wednesday. More of them below…
