Breeders Play Mountain Battles Tunes In Toronto

Yes, we like Mountain Battles. No, we haven't seen the Breeders in person on their current tour. But, we did find some videos. So far, not much footage from the Buffalo opening, though there's a healthy selection from the second night of the tour (3/8) at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre. Let's warm up with that ubiquitous (relatively speaking) oldie "Cannonball," which gets a huge crowd reaction.

Then come the excellent takes on a few of our favorite new tracks, including bouncy lead track, "Bang On." That, and Kim singing in Deutsch.

"German Studies"

"Bang On"

"Night Of Joy"

Shadowy, but they sound great. You can see more Toronto footage here.

I was at this concert and it was definitely worth the snowstorm I had to trudge through to make it there.

The set was so tight, which is not how I thought I'd ever describe The Breeders but I guess the Deals spent their downtime doing some serious fine tuning.
