Josephine Wiggs and Kelley Deal on tour in 2009

The September 2014 tour by the alternative rock band the Breeders included thirteen concerts in the central and western United States. The tour featured the lineup from their 1993 album Last Splash: Josephine Wiggs, Jim Macpherson, Kim Deal, and Kelley Deal (pictured with Wiggs in 2009). Invited to open for Neutral Milk Hotel's September 18 concert at the Hollywood Bowl, they planned a tour to lead up to this show, using the opportunity to practice some recent compositions. They performed in eleven cities, including St. Louis, Denver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. The group then played at the Hollywood Bowl concert, and finished the tour on September 20 at the Goose Island 312 Urban Block Party event in Chicago. As well as their new songs, they performed numerous selections from Last Splash and Pod (1990). Music critics commented that the performances were rousing, and that the band was as good as—or better than—in its heyday. (Full article...)

Coordinator note I'd welcome community opinion on which of the September 2 nominees should be featured on that day and which should be featured later on in September.--Wehwalt (talk) 07:50, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't have a preference, I just want voters to know that, when we've had a date conflict, we've often run the article with the North American setting on the following day. In this case, if the article runs on the 3rd (UTC), that would mean that the article would be on the Main Page for East Coasters after 8 p.m. on the 2nd, and for West Coasters after 5 p.m. - Dank (push to talk) 15:21, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dank's suggestion sounds perfectly acceptable to me, whereby The Breeders Tour 2014 would appear on the 3rd but actually in the evening of the 2nd in the Americas. That would totally work for me. Moisejp (talk) 04:26, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
