The Breeders

In January 1993, The Breeders were in a pivotal moment of their career, closely following the release of their critically acclaimed album "Last Splash," which had come out just months earlier in August 1993. The live performance of "Cannonball" recorded at Nulle Part Ailleurs showcased the band's burgeoning popularity, especially as "Last Splash" began to receive significant radio play and commercial success. This era marked a high point for the band, characterized by their catchy blend of alternative rock and punk influences. Interesting to note, "Cannonball" would go on to become one of their signature songs and is often credited with helping to define the sound of the 1990s indie rock scene. The performance at the NPA highlights not just the energy of the band but also the immediate impact of their new music as they transitioned from a cult band to a more mainstream audience.
