You were right Greg; this appears to be at least a partial copyright violation from [1]. This could easily be edited out of recognition, though. I'll try now. -- Sam

This article has two repeated sections... I know one is copyright, but which? They are both very close. -- Greg Godwin

discography

the second EP listed "head to toe" links to Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam song. can someone fix this please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.159.10 (talk)

Done -- Reaper X 01:24, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kim Deal & Tanya Donelly also sang together on This Mortal Coil's cover of the Big Star song "You And Your Sister". Since together they are (more than?) half of the Breeders, I think it deserves mention here. 84.198.246.199 (talk) 02:32, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Musical style

There's no text, so to throw something out there for fodder, the Album "Last Splash" is mostly a blend of punk and rockabilly albeit with a slower tempo than those two genres would imply, and heavily amplified and distorted instrumentation employed for psychedilic effect.

Genre

The band has played quite a bit of lo-fi music in it's history on some of their first albums in the 90's, yet whoever runs this page is denying the fact that they did. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Faithfulfather4 (talk • contribs) 02:05, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Faithfulfather4: No one runs any pages around here and I'm not saying the genre(s) are wrong, I'm mearly saying that genre changes/additions require consensus, just driving up to an article and adding or changing genre's is considered disruptive, just as the first message I left on your talk page,

Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive.. - FlightTime (open channel) 02:15, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lead guitar

As evident from several videos and concert footing, Breeders Safari; Breeders live on MTV Kelley Deal often played a guitar with one string with The Breeders. It is technically true that rhytm guitar means playing several strings at atime; it is also technically true that with one string, you can only play lead (single notes at a time); finally, it may be hard to reach consensus to define that an instrument with just one string is no longer a guitar.

Still, the overall impression is that "lead guitar" implies a performance so very far removed from playing a one-stringed guitar, that it should be commented on. Perhaps simply that she plays the "guitar". --Sponsianus (talk) 17:41, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Abandoned user draft

Please would an interested editor assess the material added at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AVioletcries%2FBreeders&type=revision&diff=563130411&oldid=563002585 , incorporate what is useful, blank that page as WP:COPYARTICLE, and leave a note here when done? – Fayenatic London 12:23, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kim and Jim

NPR interview excerpt:

SCHMITZ: So here's Kim Deal, rock legend, and she just released her first solo album. It's called "Nobody Loves You More." She's been working on it for decades.

KIM DEAL: What took you so long?

SCHMITZ: Yeah. She's apparently heard that question before.

DEAL: It's -- I just always thought I wanted to be in a band.

SCHMITZ: Right.

DEAL: You know what it was? You know, me and Jim quit talking with each other after The Amps record.

SCHMITZ: Now, this is Jim MacPherson, right, from...

DEAL: That's Jim MacPherson, the drummer for the Breeders from "Last Splash." And I went down in the basement about 1996, and he had taken his drums out of the basement. You know, like good alcoholics, we didn't talk for 15 years.

SCHMITZ: Wow.

DEAL: I had no idea why he took them out. He doesn't remember why he took them out, just that we were mad at each other. Anyway, it's 2011. There was no band around me. So I went to Los Angeles and found some players, and I started releasing 7-inches under the name Kim Deal. That's what started this whole thing, really.
