The Breeders

"The Breeders" were in a transitional phase of their career around the time of the live recording of "Drivin' On 9" in Big Sur. This performance was part of a stripped-back session highlighting their ability to reinterpret their music in a more intimate setting. Leading up to this, the band had released their acclaimed album "Last Splash" in 1993, which solidified their presence in the alternative rock scene and featured hits like "Cannonball." After a brief hiatus, they regrouped and released "Pod", their debut album in 1990. By the time of this live performance, they were already experiencing a resurgence, marked by their unique sound and strong DIY ethos. The Big Sur setting added an evocative backdrop to the performance, showing their artistry beyond the studio recordings. This illustrates not only their versatility but also their connection to the indie music culture during that period.
