The Breeders to play second LA benefit
29 January 2001

For their second live gig since reuniting a couple of years ago, Kim and Kelley Deal’s subvervsive pop band The Breeders are set to play a benefit concert 25 February in Los Angeles at the Hot Pants club. The Breeders’ new model includes two members from legendary LA punks Fear, bassist Mondo Lopez and guitarist Richard Presley. Their new drummer is José Medeles.
    Like their live reunion in December, the February show benefits Children Of The Night, a Van Nuys, California non-profit organization that works to help children forced into prostitution to break free and live healthier lives. You can find out more, or get info on giving donations, on the COTN site.
    Also playing the benefit will be former Pixies drummer David Lovering with his band David Lovering’s Science Experiment. (Meanwhile, Pixies founder Frank Black recently recruited former Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago to his band The Catholics; Black also lives in LA.)
    In addition to playing the benefit, The Breeders have autographed all sorts of paraphernalia, memorabilia, and other stuff that’ll be on sale during the show including T-shirts, CDs, cell phones, drums, and a one-of-a-kind wool bag handmade by Kelley Deal. All sales will benefit Children Of The Night. | The Breeders | | Hot Pants club | | Children Of The Night | | Fear | | discography | | sample | | top of page |
