THE BREEDERS

From Dayton, Ohio.  Led by Kim Deal (vocals/guitar), with sister Kelly Deal (guitar), Richard Presley (guitar), Mondo Lopez (bass) and Jose Medeles (drums).  Originally a side project for The Pixies' Kim Deal and Throwing Muses' Tanya Donelly, the group formed in Boston and stayed there until Donelly left to form Belly.  Sonically harder and more experimental than The Pixies, Deal's gifts have run into stumbling blocks. First her sister Kelly was arrested for heroin possession causing Kim to reserve The Breeders name by setting up a side project called The Amps.  Kelly formed the Kelly Deal 6000 and also played in a group called The Last Hard Men.  The Breeders' name of the group is a slang term used by homosexuals to describe heterosexuals!  Many abortive attempts at reforming passed until 1998 when The Breeders toured again heralding a possible return to recording.  In 2002 they finally released a new album with all new band members save for the Deal sisters, which includes Presley and Lopez who gravitated over from Fear!  1990-95/2001-present.
