Kim sang with Tanya Donelly on This Mortal Coil's You And Your Sister - I'm not yet sure how this fits into the scheme of things, but it's a great song.

The Amps
were formed in 1995 after Kim broke up
The Breeders
for a year, claiming that they needed a break
after global touring and Lollapalooza. She started working
on a solo LP, but this changed when Breeders drummer
Jim Macpherson and other Dayton musician friends, Nathan
Farley and Luis Lerma, were drafted in for gigs. The band then
started touring as Tammy and the Amps with Kim on vocals and
guitar, Nathan on guitar, Luis on bass, and Jim on drums. Soon
the name was changed to simply The Amps. The band played a
number of small American venues and some European, stopping
periodically in the studio to record songs for an album. Their
debut album, Pacer, was released on 31 October 1995. The
band continued touring America and Europe periodically until
the summer of 1996 when Kim cancelled a series of high profile
European dates including several festivals to concentrate on
working with the original outfit, The Breeders.
