The Breeders at this time featured Kim Deal, Kelley Deal, Josephine
Wiggs and Jim MacPherson. Kim started the group as a side-line while
she was in the Pixies. They released the first album, 'Pod'. The band
at this time the band had Kim, Josephine, Tanya Donelly and Shannon
Doughty(?), Tanya being on day release from the Throwing Muses.
Between the two albums they released the Safari EP. By the time they
started recording the second album Tanya had started doing Belly and
so didn't have the time to put in. She has since gone solo and has a
single out later this year.
Kim drafted twin sister Kelley in as a replacement. She got a smack
habit, got done for receiving some stuff through the post and went
through rehab as an alternative to jail. During this time Kim started
on some solo stuff, but ended up doing it with another band which she
called the Amps. It was going to be Tammy and the Amps, but she dropped
the idea.
Kelley came out oof rehab clean and put together a band to record
some stuff she had written. The Kelley Deal released their album earlier
this year. 'Go to the sugar altar' is the title.
As for Josephine she started off as a vocalist in the Perfect Disaster,
formed Honey Tongue with Jon Mattock from Spiritualized and released
the Nude Nudes album. She produced the Kostars album and was seen at
this years CMJ festival in the Kostars on drums and in The Josephine
Wiggs Experience on vocals.
That is about all I can remember. If there are details missing/wrong
I apologise, but it was all done from the top of my head with no prior
preparation.

Yeah, I agree. But I never did get to see them live (I'm not saying
they should stay together just for me, but it'd be nice to see them
once).
I remember Miki saying in a radio interview (loveline) that her
and Chris are (were) best friends. I have the interview on tape and
Chris sounded like a depressed guy. Ya'know the droning on voice. But I
don't know if that's from being depressed. Don't most people talk like
that over there (England)? Maybe I'm mistaken.
I really feel for them, life sucks.

I think it's called Precious One or somthing like that. Nothing after their
(UVS's) fantastic first lp has really held my attention, in fact the only
thing I remember about that song is the Kurt/Kim kiss in the video.

>From what I've seen in interviews, Chris was a happy guy. He was always
cracking clever jokes and having a fun time. Everyone liked him. How
could you not? We shouldn't try to look for reasons that lead to his
suicide. Even his closest friends probably had NO idea there was even a
chance of something like this happening. If he was depressed, he hid it
very well.
I'll let someone with .uk at the end of their address comment on the
droning voice part. I'm going to stay FAR away from that cos I'm plenty
warm already.

I've received a promo copy of SEELY from TOO PURE USA. I guess they send it to
me due to my zine. Thanks a lot (if you're still in the list). I'll
write something about them in my next edition (portuguese only).

excuuuuuuse the hell out of me. it was a simple mistake. i swear.
so everyone picks on the minor flaw in my post:
"it's 'fear of a black HAT!', you idiot"
i confess i'm an idiot.
but what about the more subtle and potentially scathing indictments i made, like
the possibility that we're no more sophisticated and discerning group of
audiophiles than those four year old crack heads who wear their sweat-pants with
one leg rolled up and the waist around their arses? you know what identifies us
as pavlovian consumers? the fact that we are more than willing to snatch up two
ten dollar singles of the same song and even more so when it's a "limited
edition of 5000"?
my point is this; do we ever get to the point where we stop listening to the
music and become simple consumers? do you, like me, ever buy a cd based purely
on the artwork or the fact that warren defever produced it, not because it's
going to be a good album, but because you have a sickening need to own all
things 4ad?
i'd like to think that we're a bit more sophisticated as a group of listeners
(generalization alert!), but when i read those petty two liners, i begin to
wonder. let's get into substance, not style.

Why yes, The Breeders do have an earlier album. It's named "Pod" and it came
out on 4AD
in 1992. Tanya Donnely played lead on that album shortly after her split
from Throwing Muses and before forming Belly. Kim Deal herself played bass
for the Pixies (an all time favorite of mine) I'm not sure who Josephine
Wiggs played for, but I'm sure that someone else could provide you with that
insight. The Breeders also released an EP in conjunction with Pod titled
"Safari"; it has some excellent tracks (including a Donnelized version of
"Do You Love Me Now?") and is worth checking out. I would also check out as
many Pixies albums as you can get your hands on.
Sadly enough, the Breeders are at present defunct because of personal
problems. Kim Deal is presently fronting a band known as the Amps, also
worth checking out. The name of the album is "Pacer" and can also be found
on the 4AD label; there is also some EP's that they released but I'm not
certain of the titles. The Amps toured with Sonic Youth earlier this year
and they put on a decent show.
Well, I hope that the info I provided provided you with some insight. I'm
sure that other people on this list will be happy to fill in the gaps I left.
Good Luck!

Pete,
I received "Julie Only" last week. I would like to say thanks very much. It is n
t often we in the
outlying areas of the world receive promo CDs, particularly as an unexpected sur
rise!
As far as the music is concerned, it really is a pleasant CD. I think I would li
en it to
My Bloody Valentine (in places), and a number of bands with female singers (for
example Liquorice). Good interchanging of male / female vocals - definitely enjo
able.
Thanks again,
Chris

Shannon left after fighting over parking spaces with Tanya.
Yes, stupid, I know. It was then-Slinter, Albini-pet,19-year old, Kentucky
native Britt Walford that played on "Pod", under the Shannon Doughton(?)
moniker, and "Safari", under the oh-so-clever Mike Hunt alias. Other talents
included nose-picking (with drum sticks, of course), and being in Slint.

Josephine Wiggs had a side project with Kate Schellenbach of Luscious
Jackson called Ladies Who Lunch. They released a 7" with covers of "the Kims
we love" : The Pixies' "Gigantic" (but of course) and Sonic Youth's "Bull in
the Heather." This was last year, if I remember correctly.
