The Breeders Perform Cannonball Live at NPA

Venue: Canal+, Nulle Part Ailleurs Location: Paris, Île-de-France, France Date: October 12, 1993

The Breeders were riding the wave of success with their iconic album "Last Splash," which was released just a few months prior to this live recording in October 1993. "Cannonball," the standout single from that album, showcases their unique blend of alternative rock and catchy hooks, perfectly encapsulating the band's vibe at the time. This performance is a snapshot of their exhilarating energy as they were gaining mainstream popularity, with the music video for "Cannonball" resonating with audiences worldwide. Interestingly, the band originally formed as a side project for Kim Deal, the Pixies bassist, and her twin sister Kelley. This connection to the revered Pixies adds an extra layer of intrigue. Their performance on "Nulle Part Ailleurs" in Paris marks a pivotal moment in their trajectory, blending both charm and grit that characterizes The Breeders' signature sound. It’s hard not to feel the electrifying spirit of the '90s through every note they play.
