The Breeders had fallen off the map for a while, but the band, led by sisters Kim and Kelley, are on tour again in support of a new album, Mountain Battles.

The band has been less than prolific—four LPs in 20 years—and the lineup has seen some considerable changes, most notably when co-founder Tanya Donelly left to form Belly, and Kelley having to spend time in rehab and prison. Donnelly remains absent, but the sisters have reunited and sound as good as they did on the band’s first album, the critically acclaimed but commercial failure Pod.

The Breeders are a throw back to the ‘90s-style alternative rock and a lot of the attitude that goes with that. Expect to hear some deep cuts off Pod, new tracks off of Mountain Battles and some of the less radio-friendly tunes from Last Splash.

The Breeders play the House of Blues on May 2 at 6:45 p.m. Tickets are $20.
