The Breeders, Divine Hammer

Live at the pinkpop festival 1993

[@SuniKayLou]

I love Kim's voice. Her speaking and singing voice, it's just perfect.

Girls really don't have to be barbie dolls to be sexy. Breeders are the living proof. 90's fucking rocked

The 90s had it's own sound.

[@pdbordelon]

That drummer and bass player are SONIC!

[@logicalcorrelation]

i absolutely love the way kim lags behind the beat when she sings.

[@Tomnedreb]

Love this song and love this band, and I truly enjoyed the music from the 90's.

[@johnnyxvkx6179]

I've already seen you in some of this band's videos, have you ever thought about doing a cover of them? Pd: I like your vids bro

[@lsnows]

Fuck yeah! That was the year in which Brazil won the world cup in the US, and the year I first fell in love and first ever got nookie!!! I will never forget 1994. Oh, yeah, the music of that year absolutely rocked!

[@rustygazes256]

Divine hammer is my favorite from them.man I really miss being 17 or 18 in the 90s. Everything then was so real and pleasant. Nowadays I get nauseous in the time we live in.sad...really sad.

[@jamespatrick74]

i know man, innocent times. i feel sorry for young people thrse days. and not one mobile phone in the crowd lol.

[@slacktoryrecords4193]

I was 14 when this was new. Had the CD but didn’t live anywhere close to where they toured and I was too young to go anyway. But oh, what a time.

[@kevingreenhaw7372]

Jim's having a blast with this

[@robinpetty3180]

I love the backing vocals high in the mix, the looseness around the original melody, Kelley's guitar-tone, the look across at 3:03, Jo's indifference.....so much to love about this version.

[@slacktoryrecords4193]

Just noticed how glassy Kelley’s tone is. 4th or 2nd position on the p’up selector, perhaps?

[@MickShasta]

Kelley was in such a beautiful trance state. Perfect solo. Beautiful.

[@fkyndyfora]

Damn i miss 90s!

[@MrLouisfine]

Probably their most beautiful song!

Kim Deal is The COOLEST GIRL ON EARTH 💘💘💘💘💞💞💞 and Kelley is very Beautiful 😍😍😍😍

[@phambo101]

I was a 26-years-old Vietnamese living in Berekley, CA when this song came out; I had a crush on Kim for her girl-next-door looks---I still love you, Kim! ...LIVE 105! 105.5 FM San Francisco, Caliornia---Rockin' the bay to the bones!!!...

I was here, It was the best live gig I ever saw, the whole atmosphere was super! the breeders rule big time! NETJES!!!

Fuck yes. It disappeares this near. Genius band. The Deal sisters are not to be fucked with. I just ended a sentence with a preposition. That's how serious am I. I'm just looking for one divine hammer. One Divine Hammer.

[@simonagree4070]

This is almost the only Breeders song I know, and I love it. I don't even know what it means, exactly. I just love the way it starts off with the bass, and then the drums explode, and then there's a beautiful melody. That's enough for me.

[@slacktoryrecords4193]

It’s about how Kim doesn’t see any divinity in the world. It’s “making fun of religious folk songs” like “If I Had a Hammer” and whatnot.

[@zeonthedub]

Splendid smile of Kelly

[@pankratoshellas183]

Yeah theh both have that Nordic, semi Mongolian, semi Caucasian Germanic, semi Native American like high Cheekbones and pretty Heart shaped faces... 💗💕💗💕💕💕 So sad that they struggled with Drugs, especially Kim. 💗💓💕💓

[@mkeegan1968]

growing up in 1990s as a very young kid, I was born in 1986, so to give u an idea my first CD I owned was Nirvana + nevermind, I believe it was the next year I got Last Splash by the breeders. by the end of 93 I owned alot of alternative/grunge CD and Lo records. during this time I relied heavily on MTV and the local modern rock station for music. herrs my unique point: I was readily exposed to the breeders but never the pixies! I had to go back and rediscover them in high school. see the pixies back then had little fm radio play, but the breeders hit Cannonball was always on. for. short period of time they were showing up everywhere...my live n loud, other MTV concerts, and although thier major commercial success came from Cannonball, I absolutely loved the Last Splash album and the fast short poetic songs like New year and saints . o fell in love with the shape the band after seeing Live n Loud. they were just so freaking good! mind u I still had no idea who the pixies were. now that I'm older and a fan of the pixies as well, I would rather go see Kim w the Breeders than the pixies, don't get me wrong I love the pixies, I just love the breeders more. I just wish there was more material.

[@BurningtunaDC]

Thanks for sharing your life story with us. Would you be interested in someone writing a motion picture screenplay based on it?

[@jeans.plante512]

I think last splash is on par w/ the pixies' albums

[@steve_22xy]

All Nerve, their new 2018 album is good. and Kim makes solo 7inch vinyls on her own website.

[@joejones9520]

like there's always gotta be that one person doing the robot there's always gotta be a long-ass comment writer...

[@slacktoryrecords4193]

I also didn’t know the Pixies’ music before I knew the Breeders. How could I? I was 14 when Last Splash came out. Pixies weren’t on my radar in my podunk town in the middle of nowhere when I was 9 years-old. Didn’t hear a note of their music until I was at least 19 and someone put “Debaser” on a mix tape for me.

[@brianmenz7425]

The amazing and wonderful Deal sisters...

[@Kohntarkosz]

I kinda like how she says "We've got five minutes" at the beginning, then they fart around for a minute and a half. In the words of Frank Zappa, "GOOD GOD, WE'RE SO PROFESSIONAL!".

[@biglaity]

[@visitinguncle]

@jimebenhoh "Just waitin' for ...like that...I have to use... spe- ... supposed to... We're gonna do Divine Hammer." She was waiting for the guitar tech to bring her the black Tele with the capo, that's what she was trying to articulate. Stoned on spacecakes. Goodtimes

The Breeders didn’t play any shows in 2007 and both Kim and Kelley were long sober by then. You must be thinking of 1997, when Kim was at her worst.

[@aworldwithoutsin6384]

I still get chills hearing this. I had never heard of them and saw this on MTV or something. Whenever I hear a song I love I desperately write it down so I don't forget. What is this song about anyway?

[@jamessouth3808]

It’s about the male member. Divine hammer, she would bang it all day

[@slacktoryrecords4193]

It’s about Kim’s search for evidence of god or “divinity” - but she had concluded that there just isn’t any. It’s her “making fun of religious folk songs, like ‘If I Had A Hammer’.” Direct quote.

[@tombuttner]

@logicalcorrelation Yet they still blew everyone away...

Cool song and show, except it was Pinkpop 1994 (not 1993), the 25th jubilee edition. My first festival day ever (16 y/o at the time), and a great one at that, with also Rage Against The Machine, Smashing Pumpkins (when Billy still had a full set of hair), Therapy?, The Levellers, Soul Asylum and Urban Dance Squad.

[@albertoequivocado]

I wish I was Kim Deal

[@samsontowwers377]

Jo looks like she's pissed off...

[@bobdoubter2977]

Wonder why the Deal twins just didn't start out together instead of Kim joining The Pixies. Kim seems like a real handful.

[@slacktoryrecords4193]

Kelley was busy with her job, Kim got married and she and her husband moved to Boston, and once she was there she wanted to join a band, so she did. I don’t think she really had many songs written (that were any good) until after she joined the Pixies.
