The Breeders Tour Dates for 2008


The Breeders are back and will be embarking on a Spring/Summer tour for 2008, and the dates are listed below. The pride of Dayton, Ohio will play other dates in California after that before working their way east through Arizona, Texas, the Midwest, and then the East Coast.

It'll be great to see Kim and Kelley and the others live and in person again. Here are the U.S. tour dates so far. Oddly enough, this list (which The Breeders sent out to their MySpace friends, and list on their Web site's tour page) doesn't list a few U.S. shows, such as a Buffalo performance March 7th and SXSW in Austin on March 15th. And the list doesn't include European and Canadian the band is sprinkling in among these dates: for example, playing in Berlin two days before Coachella. It's a pretty jam-packed barnstorming schedule, hope they won't be too wiped out by the time I get to see them in NYC!

The new Breeders album is called "Mountain Battles" and comes out April 7th in the U.K. and April 8th in the U.S.
