The Breeders

In July 2008, The Breeders delivered a powerful live rendition of their iconic track 'Cannonball' at McCarren Park Pool in Brooklyn. At this point in their career, the band was riding a wave of resurgence thanks to their album 'Mountain Battles,' released just a few months earlier, in April 2008. This album marked a notable return for the group after a long hiatus and showcased their unique blend of alternative rock and lo-fi sensibilities. Interestingly, 'Cannonball,' originally from their 1993 album 'Last Splash,' is often lauded as a defining hit of the '90s, and performance pieces like this one at McCarren reminded fans of its timeless appeal. The spotlight on them during this period emphasized not just their legacy but also their ability to connect with both old and new audiences, bridging gaps in time with electrifying performances.
