Review: House of Vans Kept the Party Going with The Breeders
Who is as cool as Kim Deal? No one. Even her sister Kelly (who is pretty freakin’ cool), ain’t Kim.
So, when The Breeders came back as a full-time concern after Kim’s break from The Pixies, I was ecstatic.
So, let’s take a step back and think about this. Kim Deal was the coolest bassist of all time in the band that Nirvana (rightfully) ripped off and created a structural sea change in rock and/or roll.
SO. THE BREEDERS. At House Of Vans.
They did what they came to do. There is no point where you need Deal to prove her bonafides. They played a set that depended on the hits. And they even played “Gigantic” at the end, which to be clear, is an absolute Deal song.
I actually thought this out. What deep thing can we say about The Breeders?
I can’t.
Kim Deal is cool as fuck. End of story. -Jim Kopeny
