The Breeders

In October 1993, The Breeders showcased their iconic track "Divine Hammer" during a live performance on MTV's "120 Minutes," a period marked by the band's rising prominence in the alternative rock scene. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album "Last Splash," which debuted in August 1993. "Last Splash" propelled the band into the limelight, featuring hits like "Cannonball" and "Divine Hammer." The album's success was partly due to its unique blend of punk, indie rock, and melodic hooks, highlighting the band's distinctive sound. An interesting fact about this live recording is that the lineup featured key members such as Kim Deal, who was also known for her work with the Pixies, which further intertwined the bands in the early '90s rock landscape. The energetic delivery during this performance captured the band's dynamic presence and solidified their status as a leading force in the alternative rock genre.
