The Breeders at Paramount Theatre Seattle

Last Splash is currently The Breeder’s most popular album. Released 30 years ago, the effort was regarded as the band’s career-defining album. Upon dropping Last Splash in 1993, The Breeders made their debut on the Billboard 200, reaching a peak of number 33. Besides the U.S., the album also made waves across international charts. The album’s success can be stemmed from the singles’ massive success. Last Splash’s iconic hits include “Divine Hammer,” “Cannonball,” and “Saints,” all of which entered the Hot Alternative Songs charts. “Cannonball” notably entered the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 4. It also reached number 2 on the Alternative chart, making it the band’s highest charting single of their career.

Thirty years after its release, the album remains a highly-relevant and significant record. In 2013, the album was listed in NME’s “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” Meanwhile, Rolling Stone also included the album in their “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” list, published in 2020. The following year, the album was listed by two magazines, Slant Magazine, and Spin, as being one of the “Greatest Rock Albums of the ‘90s.”

On this upcoming tour, fans can anticipate The Breeders performing a hefty number of songs from Last Splash. There is no word yet on exactly what the setlist is like but many reckon that the album will be performed in its entirety. Besides songs from Last Splash, the band is highly likely to perform songs from their latest studio releases, Title TK, Mountain Battles, and All Nerve.
