  • Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
  • The Amps 'Tipp City' was released back in 1995. The Breeders were on a break, so Kim Deal made some music - firstly as Tammy and the Ampersands, which was eventually shortened to The Amps.
    Jim MacPherson who played alongside her in The Breeders joined, as well as Dayton locals Nate Farley (who played in Guided by Voices amongst others) and Luis Lerma.

    I saw them open up for Foo Fighters back in 1996. I had no idea who they were, but noticed all their gear on stage had "Breeders" painted on it. Then I saw Kim Deal walk out on stage and I got really excited.

      The best year of my young teenage life for sure. 15 years old without a care in the world, a seemingly endless hot summer and a time when it felt like all-time classic records were coming out on a weekly basis.
      I got this record on vinyl a month after it came out for my sixteenth birthday and I love it to this day.

    I met her in 1996 at a private gig for Mo Wax's Money Mark's Keyboard repair, she was touring as The Amps and my way cool girlfriend intro'd us.
    She literally walked over and said my boyfriend standing over by the cigarette machine is your biggest fan. It's true I've followed her since the Pixies.
    She came over and I was almost speechless, just in awe really.
    We argued about cigarette label warnings, she bought three packs until she was happier with the warning label finally deciding yeah okay i'll settle and smoke these. She played pool and was swish and lightly toasted with the brews. She was cool as only Kim Deal can be, I got a signed autograph and we spoke about silly stuff for about 5 minutes. My girlfriend just proudly grinned watching me oogle and ahh knowing my dream of meeting my favourite musician of all time had come true.

    Kim Deal's songs all seem to have some magic + bizarre + unexpected combination of elements: strange/sweet/melody/hook and humor. She always seemed to trust her own music and creativity however/wherever it ended up. Maybe it is all just a trick and a lot of thought and effort goes into sounding this pure and carefree??? I don't care to know, I just know I will be listening.
