The Breeders - New U.S. Dates, Homemade 'Nervous Mary' Video
The Breeders : New U.S. Dates, Homemade 'Nervous Mary' Video
7th August 2018

In the middle of a busy street in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, The Breeders took a brief break from touring to shoot a homemade video for ‘Nervous Mary’, from their 2018 album, All Nerve.  Puppet versions of Kim and Kelley Deal – dressed in custom-knitted outfits made by Finnish fan and professional puppet-maker Milla Risku – go wild performing the song as their real-life counterparts sing live vocals off camera.  Wait for the final moments to discover the identity of the puppet-masters…

Ahead of their Celebrate Brooklyn performance in Prospect Park, The Breeders have announced a twenty date US tour around their Austin City Limits festival performances on 6th and 13th October.  The tour will kick off in Pioneertown CA before wrapping up in Columbus OH on Halloween.  All new dates are below, and you can find all announced dates on the band's website here.

Earlier this year, The Breeders released All Nerve, their first album in a decade and their first in twenty five years reuniting the iconic Last Splash line-up of Kim and Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs and Jim Macpherson.  It reached #2 on four Billboard charts, gave the act their first UK Top Ten album since Last Splash and garnered widespread praise from critics including the New Yorker who declared, ‘the Breeders are a model not simply for the timelessness of good art – the ways in which ingenuity boomerangs – but for what women can accomplish, regardless of whether the culture ever rises up to support them.”

All Nerve is available to order from 4AD here.
