FIRST TIME HEARING The Breeders - Cannonball REACTION

[@hazi5961]

Since you checked out The Breeders, you need to check out The Pixies (Kim Deal from the Breeders is the Bassist for Pixies). Where Is My Mind, Debaser, River Euphrates, or Hey by Pixies all would be good choices.

[@RondoHunter3.14]

You beat me to it, excellent suggestion. I whole-hardheartedly support that recommendation. I'll be watching.

The singer, Kim Deal, was the bass player and one of the singers with the Pixies. The Pixies were HUGELY influential on 90s grunge (though they couldn’t be categorized as grunge themselves). Kim didn’t sing lead on too many Pixies songs, but Gigantic is one of them, and it is KILLER.

[@mamatay7]

Yes!!! HUGELY influential!!! When Nirvana was recording Nevermind, their goal was to get a fraction of the sales that the Pixies records made, and they always talk about having "ripped off" (their words) the Pixies' Loud-Quiet-Loud dynamic

[@mcolford]

Cannonball is such a cool song... glad you checked it out. Divine Hammer is another good one from them. But as others have said below, check out the Pixies next, Kim Deal, lead vocalist of the Breeder, is the bass player for the Pixies, and some of their great songs are Gigantic, Monkey Gone to Heaven, and Here Comes Your Man. Also, check out Belly, their songs Feed the Tree, Slow Dog, or Gepetto, another very cool 90's rock & roll, female-fronted band.

[@taoist32]

I didn’t really care for Belly, but Pxie and Breeders were some of my favorite all female alt rock bands. Didn’t really care for Hole either.

@@Karebear_8000 correct me if I'm wrong in this statement: I feel like this is where music started taking a turn for the worst....and not to the fault of these 90's female artists, it's cause instead of mainstream radio stations promoting the influx of 90's female artists, at the forefront of bands, writing their own material, creating new sounds and trends....they pushed them to the waste side to give you the Britney Spears and Aguilera's of the world to go out there and just be cute and sexy instead.

[@eddiegoofball]

90s Alternative Classic! Kim Deal from the Breeders was originally in the Pixies who were one of the Alternative innovators... think of the transition from the New Wave of the 80s to the grunge of the 90s. The Pixies were one of the most unique and important bridge bands between the 2 eras. A great Pixies song to get introduced to is Here Comes Your Man

[@lepm1970]

[@normanleroy1874]

I can't believe you did this song, I love you guys! One of the best songs of the 90s! Kim Deal of the Breeders was in the Pixies, another band you should check out. Monkey Gone To Heaven, Gigantic and Where Is My Mind are great Pixies songs to hit.

[@missliss2581able]

I *still* play that album. Regularly

[@dcal3775]

Yes! That song still gets me going!!

[@Shrykespeare]

One of the most underrated female vocalists and songwriters of the 90s was the Breeders' lead singer, Kim Deal. Also in this group was another great vocalist, Tonya Donnelly, who led a group called Belly (please do "Feed the Tree", "Slow Dog" or "Gepetto".) As for The Breeders, while "Cannonball" was their signature song, they had some other bangers - "Saints", "Divine Hammer", "Off You", and "Son of Three". This IS 90s alternative, my wheelhouse! Some other great 90s female-led bands you should check out are Lush ("Sweetness and Light"), The Sundays ("Summertime", "Here's Where the Story Ends"), and, of course, Garbage ("Stupid Girl"). Great bands all. And yes, you're right - the singers are twin sisters, Kim and Kelley Deal. The third woman is Josephine Diggs (on that awesome bass) and the drummer is Jim Macpherson. They are from Dayton, Ohio. "Divine Hammer" will give you more of their voices than this one.

[@Shrykespeare]

I have to add "Carolyn's Fingers" by Cocteau Twins. The lead singer has a vocal trill in this song that might just melt Amber's brain.... or her heart.

[@davidwoolbright3675]

Tanya Donely wasn’t in the band at this time but she was when they released their best song-Safari!! Throwing Muses is a fantastic female band with the absolute masterpiece-Not Too Soon

The Breeders are one of those topics I could talk about off-the-cuff at a moment's notice. The anchors are sisters Kim and Kelley Deal. Kim was the sole woman member of the Pixies.The Breeders were one of the few women-led early grunge bands that broke through. The Last Splash album is iconic.

[@yelnek4548]

Republica - 'Ready To Go'

[@bostonvair]

Lead vocalist Kim Deal was the bassist and sometimes vocalist of the Boston band the Pixies. The Pixies were the most important band that most people haven't heard of. Their sound influenced the alternative rock sound of the 1990s. Though there have been a few partial reunions and additional recordings, the main era of the Pixies was from about 1986 to 1992. Kurt Cobain of Nirvana often said that the Pixies was his favorite band. You can hear Kim Deal singing on one of their earlier hits "Gigantic" from their first full-length album. Their biggest hit was "Here Comes Your Man" from their 1987 album Doolittle. There are a number of other worthwhile Pixies songs to react to as well. Kim Deal was in another band after the Breeders called the Amps. The title track from their album "Pacer" was a minor radio hit. The Male lead for the Pixies was a guy who was originally named "Charles Thompson" but changed his name to "Black Francis" while he fronted the Pixies. After the Pixies broke up in 1992 or 1993, he embarked on a successful solo career under the name "Frank Black" Another great song to react to would be Frank Black's first radio hit "Los Angeles." Anyway, the Pixies are a gateway down the rabbit hole of 1990s alternative rock as they influenced so many other bands.

[@csn10]

Kim Deal is in 2 of Kurt Cobain's favourite bands: The Breeders and Pixies. Bowie also raves at length about Pixies in an interview you can find on YT, as does Radiohead. Some of their coolest songs are not much more than 2-3 minutes long, but you'd love Sad About Us (live on Letterman), Fortunately Gone, Doe... When I was a Painter should be your next one. Cool that they made it to female fridays!

[@woodsea434]

Great choice, love The Breeders and The Pixies. Tegan & Sara are another twin sister indie band that started in the late 90's and are still creating new music. "Walking With a Ghost" and "Where Does the Good Go" are good examples of their sound. Ani DiFranco, started in early-90's and still going, is another fantastic female artist with a ton of great songs: "Gravel", "Both Hands", "As Is", "Not A Pretty Girl", "32 Flavors", "Superhero", etc.

[@taoist32]

The Breeders were an alt rock band, not Indie.

[@3DJapan]

I love Tegan and Sarah. Their music aside, something I find interesting is that they're twins but grew up on opposite sides of Canada, yet both turned out to be lesbians. That's pretty good evidence that it's genetic, not a choice or environment or something.

[@kellypedersen9896]

The Breeders actually started as a side project in the late 80s for 2 musicians from Boston whose other bands were at the top of their game at that point: Singer/ guitarist Kim Deal (who was the bassist/ sometime singer in The Pixies), and Tanya Donnelly (who was the guitarist/ sometime vocalist in Throwing Muses), rounded out by bass player/ singer Josephine Wiggs (from UK indie-pop band Perfect Disaster) and drummer Britt Walford. After this line-up released their first album ("The Pod") in 1990, Walford and Donnelly left (Walford joined Louisville noise-rockers Slint; Donnelly fronted her own band Belly, whose "Feed The Tree" would be an excellent Female Friday selection). The Breeders filled these 2 vacancies with a much more fluid drummer (Jim MacPherson), and Kim's twin sister Kelley on vocals and guitar, which gave the band (as one critic put it) "plenty of Wonder Twin Starpower". And it did- their second album (1993's "Last Splash", from which "Cannonball" was released as a single) remains one of the most listener-friendly, and at the same time one of the weirdest, pop/ rock albums of the 90s. Excellent reaction, as always.

Not only do the The Breeders have a members connection back to the Pixies, they also have a connection back to another amazing and overlooked U.S. band…Slint. You need to hear their songs ‘Good Morning Captain’ and ‘Washer’ from their 1991 album ‘Spiderland’….for the connection to the Breeders? Well, the Breeders song you just reviewed is the second incarnation of the band. In the first, it was Kim Deal singing, Her sister Kelly was not there. Tanya Donnelly from the ‘Throwing Muses’ played guitar, with ‘Shannon Daughton’ on drums! But Shannon was not a girl… it was a pseudonym used by male drummer, Britt Walford. He was drummer and founding member of Slint. Their 1991 albums ‘Spiderland’ is one of those albums to hear before you die! They were such an influential band, and were the band that were responsible the ‘Post Rock’ genre. So yes check out The Pixies, but please check Out Slint!

10000 Maniacs and Natalie Merchant is an amazing rabbit hole to go down!

If you want 90s grunge/ alternative for Female Fridays, check out "Pretend We're Dead" by L7, "Feed The Tree" by Belly, or "Stutter" by Elastica.

If you want a good hard-rocking 90's song for Female Friday, try "Volcano Girls" by Veruca Salt.

Veruca salt was a girl band from the 90's Check them out

Never really knew this band, but liked this song! Hope you do explore them a little bit & react to more of their music! ♥️The old white woman

Yeah this was pretty much an instant alternative hit. The whole album.

My friend in high school bought a bass guitar just to play this song. This song was HUGE in my 18 year old head. ❤ Seattle was so fun back then

All 5 of Pixies original albums kept me company through high school, that's Kim Deal's (bass, vocals, silly face at 3:54 ) original band and for me at the time was on level with The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, etc. For them, check Where is my Mind, Bird Dream of Olympus Mons, Dig For Fire... there are maybe 40 or 50 original songs, all great tracks with a garage band-feel (and often very strange lyrically and compositionally). Another female grunge band: "L7" - check the song Pretend We're Dead. OH Shit! and you may wanna see the nastier and more punk side of the gender with "Cycle Sluts From Hell - I Wish You Were a Beer," then for 1980's glam metal there's Vixen, which I always incorrectly thought was one of Lita Ford's bands. She started The Runaways with Joan Jett and later played with Ozzy (you may have reacted to Close My Eyes Forever).

I saw someone in the comments mention Siouxsee and the Banshees. I second that for a Female Friday! Start with Kiss Them for Me

[@rhdrewable]

One of my favorites. Their new work is amazing too. And you should definitely check out The Pixies which Kim Deal was in as well. They were a huge influence on Nirvana and other bands that created the 90s alternative sound.

"Connection" by Elastica would be good for Female Friday.

[@jeffreekoch9298]

The Breeders "Saints", "Safari" and "Divine Hammer" are good too
