In May 1994, The Breeders were in the midst of a significant moment in their career, having recently released their highly acclaimed album "Last Splash." This sophomore effort, which debuted shortly before the Pinkpop festival, was a major success, largely due to the popular single "Cannonball." The band's energetic performance at Pinkpop, particularly their rendition of "Cannonball," showcased their rising status in the alternative rock scene during the '90s, propelled by the band's unique sound and the presence of Kim Deal's distinctive vocal style. The festival appearance also marked a critical point before the mainstream breakthrough that would follow, as "Last Splash" would soon solidify The Breeders' place in music history and earn them a dedicated following. Notably, the album's themes and the band's dynamic stage presence reflected their artistic evolution from their earlier work, revealing a matured sound that resonated with audiences globally.
