Kelley Deal, Kim's sister, was also briefly involved, but had to leave the band due to drug problems.
The group toured the United States, Europe, and Australia with bands including the Foo Fighters, Sonic Youth, and Guided by Voices.
By 2000, Macpherson, Lerma, and Farley had left the band; they were all at times involved in various projects with Guided by Voices' Robert Pollard.
[7] The other members of the group at that time were Kim's twin sister Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs and Jim Macpherson.
[8] Kelley was arrested on drug charges in late 1994 and spent time in and out of rehabilitation, while Wiggs became involved in musical projects in New York, including collaborations with members of Luscious Jackson.
Early performances, before releasing Pacer, included June–July 1995 shows in Dayton: one with Guided by Voices at Gilly's[19] and another with Poster Children.
[33] That year, the Amps toured with the Foo Fighters in the United States, in locations such as Chicago (with That Dog),[34][35] Worcester, Massachusetts,[36] and Austin, Texas (with Jawbreaker),[37] as well as playing one more concert with Guided By Voices, in early March in Newport, Kentucky.
[9] In Boston Rock, this concert was characterized as "sloppy" but "charm[ing] ... hanging loosely off Kim's gruff vocals and ebullient personality".
[43][44] In May 1996, Wiggs revealed that she would not be involved in any immediate Breeders activity; Kelley also chose to stay in Saint Paul, to be close to her rehabilitation facility.
[45] With a line-up including the Deal sisters and new members Mando Lopez and Jose Medeles, the Breeders released the albums Title TK in 2002 and Mountain Battles in 2008.
[50] In 2013, the Last Splash-era Breeders line-up of Kim and Kelley Deal, Macpherson, and Wiggs reunited to tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of that album.
