If you’re a male between the ages of twenty and forty, chances are you have, at one point or another, had a major crush on Kim Deal, so I’ll save you all the “OMG I love her so much LOL” statements.

I will not, however, be able to contain my excitement for the fact that The Breeders are coming to Portland. Thanks to Pitchfork, I can now add this date to my calendar:

05-25 Portland, OR - Berbati’s Pan

Even though Last Splash went platinum, and even though I’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t love this band, I’d still argue they are criminally underrated. Why they are not name-checked as much as the Pixies I will never know.

Here’s a live video for “Huffer” off of their excellent, and overlooked, Title TK. This is so much better than that Pixies reunion it’s not even funny.
