Motherhood means mental freeze

Most 90's rock fans know Kim Deal as the back-up singer and bassist of the Pixies. While on their hiatus post-Doolittle, Deal was assembling her own rock band, the Breeders, whom I actually prefer more than the Pixies.
1993's Last Splash, the Breeders' second album, consists of hypnotic melodies and droning guitar. "Cannonball"'s distinctive bassline can be recognized and head banged to instantly. "No Aloha" and "Mad Lucas" are not quite as pop-y, but are still extremely pleasant to listen to.  Deal's wonderfully elusive lyrics are complemented with her smooth yet raspy voice. The combination is mesmerizing.
The Breeders encountered several obstacles along their path. Some members developed drug problems, while others began family and preferred their suburban life over the unsettled, rock n' roll lifestyle. They released a few albums after Last Splash, but they were not as successful. 
Twenty years later, they began practicing to perform all of Last Splash again on a Europe and United States reunion tour. They will be releasing a double edition of Last Splash, titled LSXX. 

I pray I pray I will see one of these shows!
