The Breeders are an American rock band, formed in 1988 as a side project between Kim Deal of Pixies and Tanya Donelly of Throwing Muses. After those original bands became more inactive, The Breeders became more important to both artists. Their debut release was Pod in 1989, recorded by Steve Albini. Deal's influence is obvious, but bassist Josephine Wiggs and Slint drummer Britt Walford (credited here as Shannon Doughton) add to the ensemble sound.

By the four-song EP Safari, Deal was out of Pixies and had enlisted her twin sister Kelley to play guitar for the Breeders. Donelly exited the band for Belly and drummer Jim MacPherson joined in time for Last Splash. The album spawned the unexpected hit, "Cannonball".

In 1995, Kelley Deal was involved in a drug bust, so sister Kim formed the side project The Amps with MacPherson and two others. Getting her life back together, Kelley started the Kelley Deal 6000 and also formed the unlikely Last Hard Men with Skid RowSkid Row is also the name of a rock band.
