Bio

The Amps est un groupe américain de rock alternatif, de Dayton, dans l'Ohio. Il s'agit d'un projet parallèle de Kim Deal, en marge des Breeders (ce dernier étant lui-même né en marge des Pixies). Le groupe est formé en 1995, année de sortie de leur unique album Pacer et depuis un retour d'activité des Breeders en 1997, Kim Deal n'a pas fait évoluer ce projet davantage : le groupe est donc en hiatus depuis de nombreuses années.

The Amps were an American alternative rock band formed by Kim Deal in 1995, while her band the Breeders went on hiatus. The group consisted of Deal, on lead vocals and rhythm guitar; Luis Lerma on bass; Nate Farley on lead guitar; and Jim Macpherson of the Breeders on drums. Kelley Deal, Kim's sister, was also briefly involved, but had to leave the band due to drug problems. The group was named when Kim Deal started calling herself Tammy Ampersand for fun, and the band Tammy and the Amps. They recorded the album Pacer in the United States and Ireland.

Pacer was released in October 1995. The group toured the United States, Europe, and Australia with bands including the Foo Fighters, Sonic Youth, and Guided by Voices. Critics commented on the loose and rough quality of these performances. The Amps continued as a group until 1996, when Deal changed their name back to the Breeders. By 2000, Macpherson, Lerma, and Farley had left the band; Macpherson and Farley were at times involved in various projects with Guided by Voices' Robert Pollard. Deal's next album, the Breeders' Title TK, was released seven years after Pacer.
