Kim Deal is still denying rumors that the Breeders have broken up, but

Elektra Records has her new band, Tammy and the Amps on their upcoming

release schedule for an October release, and doesn't have anything scheduled

from the Breeders for the rest of '95. Deal said she hasn't abandoned

recording the Breeders' third album, in favor of working on the Tammy and the

Amps album, which is tentatively titled Pacer. But when pushed she

admitted that the Breeders haven't recorded a note yet.

Tammy and The Amps is a rather informal affair featuring members of the

Dayton, Ohio band the Tasties. They went in the studio at Dreamland Studios

in Woodstock, New York, and knocked off nine songs. Titles include "Pacer,"

"An Alien," "Two Scratches," "Three Eternities," "Empty Glasses," "Breaking

The Split Screen Barrier," "Tipp City," and a Tasties' song called, "Just

Like A Briar Pipe." according to Deal, the project is rather low key, and low

budget. "I need to record a couple more songs," she said. "And I'd prefer to

finish the album in Dublin, just because I want to hang out there."
