the BREEDERS gig

hello. i knew about this but then i forgot... is it sold out yet? are the tickets at real groovy? do they cost lots?
man, i'd really love to catch the breeders. as long as they play 'monkey gone to heaven', 'where is my mind' and 'volcano girls', my life will be complete! :o)
seriously though, is this thing sold out yet?

Forums: The Bar,

???
are the breeders gonna go ol'skool and play pixies tracks as well?? i mean fair enough...but can anyone confirm.
shit, id just be happy seeing "cannonball" and "divine hammer"...any pixies tracks they play would be a fuckn bonus..

I've never heard any other tracks apart from cannonball... where/when are they playing?

J-Po: As far as I know it's not sold out. Tickets are available from Real Groovy and Ticketek and cost $35.

blink: From the track lists and reviews I've read, I don't think the Breeders do any Pixies songs. But they have been known to cover the "Buffy" theme song...

Acidess: They're playing in Auckland at the Regent (St James complex) on February 21, and in Wellington at Indigo bar on the February 22.

Also, for anyone who is like "oh, they're that band who did that "Cannonball" song, right?" I have compiled a list of ten cool Breeders songs that aren't "Cannonball". (See the link below).

(Yes, I am a hardcore Breeders fangirl.)

Not so hard core as you Robyn, but I totally agree with what you say about Bragging Party - I hope they'll let rip with that one next week: its my sort of rock song.

I would be very surprised if the Breeders played any Pixies songs at all.
Ya have to remember that about 95% of the Pixies songs were written by Frank Black, and Kim and Frank aint talkin!

I enjoy last splash. No aloha is a nice too.

the pixies thing was a joke, it's funny right? and colcano girls is by veruca salt... and as far as i know they aren't doing pixies covers... thanks for the info though - and there's an interesting point here about ppl only knowing cannonballl - i rememebr listening to last splash heaps, but it's funny, none of the titles have stuck. anywya thasnks again, and shit, if they DO play Pixies you got me to thank!!
cheers

Yeah, I got it. I thought the Veruca Salt reference was funny too. I remember Veruca Salt being described as "the Breeders lite", but I think that was more to do with them being two girls with guitars and long dark hair.

"the Breeders lite"?? If its got anything to do with sound, Veruca Salt could outweight the Breeders 10/10. But maybe it was jsut to do with the gag.

//and colcano girls is by veruca salt

don't you mean "Volcano Girls" by Veruca Salt? you know "leave me lying here cause i don't wanna go!" great song it is too.

is it r18?

Yeah, it's R18.

grr fuck

Not sold out, Brunettes and Pumice supporting - and no, I'd bet money they won't play Pixies. Kim winces if the Pixies are even mentioned in interviews, from what I see...

However, if you get to see Frank Black and the Catholics play, you do get a covers fest! Awww, almost like the real thang!

Got ticket# 411... yay for me

i'd probably kill to see the breeders.
most probably kill just to see kim deal and her gorgeous sister.
i bought a little collecters package which had a cool badge, breeders own little 'zine, and a live c.d. recorded in stockholm...
anyway, i don't know if it's the whole show, but there's no trace of the pixie's. a cool song that i've never heard tho'.
also, i was wondering if anyone's heard a small e.p. that has some alternate recording's from last splash? if i knew the name...?

safari e.p.!! that was it!!
#*@<"#%*)(!?
wick'd as robyn... i just read your compiled list of ten cool Breeders songs.
cher

Is the track from the "Live in Stockholm" CD that you didn't recognise "Shocker In Gloomtown"? That's a cover of a Guided By Voices song. The Breeder's studio version appears on their "Head To Toe" 7".

The "Safari" EP isn't really alternate "Last Splash" recordings - it just has a different, faster version of "Do You Love Me Now".

(I am so tired I am practically falling asleep at the keyboard, yet I am able to remember all this Breeders song information.)

YO

Can somebody please let me crash at their place while im in Welly for The Breeders????

It would probably be from Thrusday till Sunday ish.
I will pay for all my expenses.

you can email me at melsphotos@hotmail.com

Oh crap
I just went to book my tickets for the gig and for the flight and found that the Welly gig had sold out.
Does anyone have any tickets for sale?
