The Breeders
About This Event
The Breeders, formed around songwriter and bassist Kim Deal and featuring Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs and Jim Macpherson, emerged from the 1990s indie-rock scene. They favor direct hooks and dry, unvarnished band interplay within a rock/pop vocabulary that also brushes up against riot grrrl‑era intensity, a sound they bring to The Rooftop at Pier 17 while drawing material from across their catalog.
