The Breeders: Rock Band in New York

About The Breeders

The Breeders are an American alternative rock group formed around songwriter and bassist Kim Deal, with guitarist Kelley Deal, bassist Josephine Wiggs, and drummer Jim Macpherson. Emerging from the 1990s indie-rock ecosystem, they work in a rock/pop vocabulary that also brushes up against riot grrrl-era intensity. Their songs tend to favor direct hooks and dry, unvarnished band interplay over studio gloss. In New York City, they bring that approach to The Rooftop at Pier 17, drawing material from across their catalog.
