The Breeders - Last Splash - 1993 - Ep. 30

The Breeders - Last Splash - 1993 - Ep. 30

Happy 30th birthday to 'The Last Splash' released on August 30th 1993! To celebrate we have dedicated our 30th episode (did you see what we did there?!) to the album which was the second release from the Dayton, Ohio, quartet, led by principal singer songwriter, and former member of The Pixies, Kim Deal.


We take a look at the formation and evolution of the group from their beginnings in 1989 to the present day, including other LP releases, line-up changes, gigs, and an appraisal of 'The Last Splash', their most successful album to date. We talk about our favourite songs, and single releases from the record, and its critical reception and sales.


Lead single 'Cannonball' was the catalyst for the success of the record, but what is the song about (it's fair to say it's open to some debate), and who is the Marquis De Sade, and what's his connection to the track?


As ever, there's a review of the UK single and album charts from the week of release, and if the previous episode contained arguably the best chart we've covered from August 1983, then this could well be the worst! There's songs from Billy Joel, Mariah Carey, UB40 and a glut of drum-machine based releases from 2 Unlimited, Apache Indian, SWV, Urban Cookie Collective, Bitty McLean, Culture Beat, and even Freddie Mercury.


The album chart was a little more palatable and we also whiz through the UK box office, news, and TV for August '93, before concluding the episode with our Top 3's. It's a good one this week as we look at our favourite acts containing siblings. There's lots to go at, but did we select any of your favourites? Let us know!
