Kim Deal of the Breeders has announced the return of the band with a new album and€ some scattered shows coming in 2008. Deal, bassist for legendary Boston band the Pixies, along with her sister Kelley, Jose Mendeles and Mando Lopez are in the studio cranking up some new tunes.
The band began as a side project for Kim Deal and blossomed into its own popularity with its 90′s hit “Cannonball.” Deal says the new album Mountain Battles will be released on April 8, 2008. The album is their first since 2002 and Kim Deal’s participation in the enormously successful Pixies reunion that followed shortly after.
A recent press release announced that “The Breeders will be playing live all over the world in 2008. Their schedule includes performances at Canadian Music Week and SxSW and Coachella, plus full tours in the USA and in Europe.” If you have never seen the band they are a cool sonic treat with sweet vocals from Kim and Kelley. Check them out if you get a chance.
