The Breeders

The earliest incarnation of the band was formed by Kim Deal and Tanya Donelly in 1989 as a side-project alongside their full-time bands Pixies and Throwing Muses respectively.

Allthough the band's first record wasn't initially a commercial success, the band had developed a following among indie rock fans and praises from people such as Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who cited "Pod" as one of his all-time favorite albums.

The band's most commercially successful album, "Last Splash", was released in 1993 in the midst of the early 1990s alternative rock boom. The album went on to be certified platinum.

A year after the success of "Last Splash", drug and alcohol issues forced the band into hiatus in 1994, while both the Deal sisters did separate stints in rehab in the following years.

In 2013, Kim and Kelley announced that the "classic" line-up reunited for the first time since the 1990s for a new series of tours celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band's hit album "Last Splash". 

They have since released their fifth album "All Nerve" in 2018.
