In the live recording of "Huffer," The Breeders showcased their energetic style during an appearance on "The Late Late Show," which likely occurred around the time of their 2002 album, "Title TK." This period marked a significant moment in their career as it was their first studio album in nearly a decade, following the success of "Last Splash" in 1993. The band, originally formed by Kim Deal and her twin sister Kelly, faced various lineup changes and hiatuses, making this comeback particularly noteworthy. "Title TK" reflects a maturation in their sound while retaining the raw edge that characterized their earlier work. The inclusion of "Huffer" in a live performance highlights their ongoing relevance in the alt-rock scene and their ability to captivate audiences after such a substantial break. Following the performance, the band continued to tour and release new music, further solidifying their legacy in indie rock.
