The Breeders
The Breeders Live Performance of Fortunately Gone at Koko, London
In April 2008, The Breeders were riding the wave of their fifth studio album, 'Mountain Battles,' which they released just a year prior. This album marked a significant point in their career, showcasing their evolution since the heyday of 'Last Splash' in the early '90s. During this live performance of 'Fortunately Gone' at KOKO in London, you can hear the raw energy that the band still possesses after years in the industry. Interestingly, this show emphasized their ability to blend alternative rock with a nod to indie sensibilities, something they’ve always been known for. By this time, the band's lineup featured core members Kim Deal and her twin sister Kelly, emphasizing their familial ties and chemistry on stage, making each performance feel intimate and personal. Watching them live is like witnessing a band that has truly come into its own, reflecting both growth and a deep connection to their roots.
