The Breeders, SXSW setlist

By Annie Zaleski Sun., Mar. 16 2008 at 12:54 PM

The Breeders played an unofficial South By Southwest show in Waterloo Park last night and gave the audience a small preview of its upcoming tour. The band dished out a long set of classics from its albums, plus selections from the Amps (Kim Deal's other, other project). Instead of serving as a nostalgia act, the Breeders seemed fresh, well rehearsed and enthusiastic about the show. Surprisingly, even songs off of the forthcoming Mountain Battles went over well. As usual, Kim and Kelley Deal were gracious, dorky, sweet, smiling and sang in perfect angelic harmony. Kelley, especially, seemed into the performance. On stage wearing her "Dayton, Ohio" t-shirt, she picked up the bass and joked "I wish I knew a Korn song." Their parents really should have had more kids.
