The Breeders Keeping Busy

09/03/2010
. Not only are The Breeders back on the road but they might also be releasing some new music. Gibson has the story: With all the talk in recent years about Pixies reunions, one could be forgiven for forgetting Kim Deal's other great band. But The Breeders, which were initially formed by Deal and Throwing Muses guitarist Tanya Donelly as a side project in 1988, became bona fide hit-makers after the Pixies broke up in 1993. In between Pixies tours, Deal is back on the road with sister Kelley and company. Although the retooled band released an album, Mountain Battles, last year, the bassist told Cleveland Scene there could be more new Breeders music in the works.

"I've got enough songs for an EP, and I'm thinking about doing something like Fate to Fatal again," Deal said. "If I had a third EP, maybe I could put it all out on a record. I don't want to wait. It takes me forever to write a record."

Deal stressed the importance of quality control in the songwriting process. "I can't handle being part of a bad song. Writing a song is super easy. You can go to the library or bookstore and there's actually a formula for writing songs. But here's the hard part � writing a song I'm going to want to sing in front of people five years from now. If other people write bad songs, they just don't play them, like [Guided by Voices frontman] Bob Pollard � he's got as many bad songs as he's got good songs." - more on this story
