The Killers in September
In 1993 or so I went to see The Breeders in concert. I had never seen the Pixies before they broke up and really liked The Breeders (3/4 of the band), so I wanted to see them. Unfortunately, they were opening up for Nirvana. I hadn’t jumped on the Nirvana bandwagon, and was a bit annoyed that I’d get a 45 minute set sandwiched between Shonen Knife and Nirvana.
The show was at the Astro Arena. The floor was sold out, but I made it down there. The 45 minute Breeders set was incredible. With only 45 minutes to last, they let it all hang out, and I was thrashing all about the floor.
Having paid for the ticket, I stayed for Nirvana and was blown away. It was an amazing show. Soulful, raw, painful, beautiful. I was a Nirvana fan from then on, and still am today. (more…)
