Wiggs' departure
editPetrusich
editKim Deal: Last Splash came out at the end of the summer of ’93, and we played constantly that year. We played through the winter. And then we played through the summer — that was Lollapalooza. Then I think we were exhausted. Because we’d also toured in ’92, so we’d had two-and-a-half years of pretty much straight playing, touring, recording, and traveling. The idea that one regroups and does another record — that didn’t happen.
Josephine Wiggs: After the last Lollapalooza show, in September ’94, we’d been touring for more than two years. In addition, Jim’s second child had been born a week before Lollapalooza. So, perhaps with that in mind, we planned some time off. I was in L.A. that December and by chance bumped into the head of 4AD’s U.S. office — he told me of Kelley’s drug arrest.
Ivo Watts-Russell: [There were] personal “problems” that it’s not my place to talk about. But Kim did make an Amps record and was constantly working.
Josephine Wiggs: I think it was in March, I was back in the U.K., when Kelley called me saying that Kim was getting together new material to record and that we should be in on it. When we had arranged to have a break, Kim had mentioned maybe doing a solo side project, instead of taking time off. I then contacted Kim to ask if it was a Breeders record, or a solo project — if it was the Breeders I’d fly over, but if she wanted to blow off steam, solo, I was totally supportive of that. The record she made was the Amps’ Pacer, which she then spent the rest of the year touring.
Kim Deal: I don’t know. I don’t know if it was a conscious decision that we weren’t gonna be playing with each other anymore. I don’t think we were particularly angry with each other.
Jim MacPherson: I was bummed out that we couldn’t get back together to do another record. I loved the Amps record and I loved recording it and touring it, but I was bummed out that there wasn’t gonna be another Breeders record with Kelly and Josephine. It did seem like we had all this momentum. We had just gotten off the Lollapalooza tour. It seemed like everything was going so good, then I don’t know what happened.
Josephine Wiggs: Kelley was in and out of rehab, and Kim’s drug use was escalating. I was settled into New York, recording, co-producing, and touring with [the Luscious Jackson side project] Kostars, and recording a solo album [Bon Bon Lifestyle], both for Grand Royal, the Beastie Boys’ label. Then I started to work with [Luscious Jackson keyboardist] Vivian Trimble on [the group] Dusty Trails. It wasn’t really a “choice” to go on indefinite hiatus. It wasn’t planned. It just happened.
Kim Deal: It was probably my bad. Maybe I should’ve…I don’t know. I was still here in Dayton playing with Jim MacPherson, so I was still in the place where we practiced. Kelley had drug trouble — got busted. So she was busy with that stuff. And then I thought that I asked Josephine, and I thought she said, “Not this one, the next one.” It’s cool, whatever. She told a different interviewer person that she didn’t say that in ’95; she said that it was in ’96 or something. Maybe I wanted to go solo. It was my intention to do a solo record. I knew everybody needed a break and I didn’t want to bring all the acoustics with me [somewhere else to record]. I could have all the players that live in Dayton with me and then I can just play around the area when I wanted to. Not like a big deal. So me and her remember that differently.
Deal's feelings c. 1997
editIn 1996, Deal reformed the Breeders using the Amps' lineup of herself, Macpherson, Farley, and Lerma.<Catlin> In many interviews in 1996 and 1997, Deal complained that she had formed the Amps out of respect for Kelley and Wiggs, who needed time off,<Ashare97><Catlin><Sullivan> but that even after the end of the Amps' tour in 1996, Kelley and Wiggs still did not choose to rejoin the Breeders;<Ashare97><Catlin><Moon><Ferguson> It was May 1996 that Kelley and Wiggs told her this.<Fowler> Kim Deal wished then that she had instead recruited Farley and Lerma for the Breeders in 1994 after Lollapalooza, instead of forming the Amps.<Ashare97>
Catlin: "After the Breeders' big tour as part of Lollapalooza '94, half the members wanted a rest."
Ashare97: "Kim fronting a band featuring Breeders/Amps drummer Jim MacPherson, Amps bassist Luis Lerma, Amps guitarist Nathan Farley, guitarist Michelle Bodine, and violinist Carrie Bradley" (also <Fowler>)
Moon: Kim: "I waited, after Lollapalooza, because everyone was burnt out."
