The Amps

The Amps were an American alternative-indie rock group. Formed by Kim Deal in 1995 after her band the Breeders went on hiatus, the group consisted of Deal, vocals and guitars; Luis Lerma, bass; Nate Farley, guitars; and the Breeders' Jim Macpherson, drums. The Breeders' Kelley Deal, Kim's sister, was also briefly involved, but had to leave the band due to drug problems. The group was named when Kim Deal started calling herself Tammy Ampersand for fun, and the band Tammy and the Amps. They recorded the album Pacer in Ireland and the United States.

Pacer was released in October 1995. The group toured the United States, Europe, and Australia, with bands including the Foo Fighters, Sonic Youth, and Guided by Voices. Critics commented on the loose and rough quality of these performances. The Amps continued as a group until 1996, when Deal changed their name back to the Breeders. By 2000, Macpherson, Lerma, and Farley had left the band; they were all at times involved in various projects with Guided by Voices' Robert Pollard. Deal's next album, the Breeders' Title TK, was released seven years after Pacer.

Pacer

by: The Amps

Now I like to get loud
I like to go to the other side
Just to think, you were just passin' by
Ridin' around
You spat in my eye
Just to think, you were just passin' by
We were hike to hike
Breezing by
You broke the pace
Just a twisted kid, never learned to ride
Now I like to get loud
I like to go to the other side
Just to think, you were just passin' byWe were hike to hike
Breezing by
You broke the pace
Just a twisted kid, never learned to ride
Now my wheels are off the ground
They keep spinnin' 'round
Just to think, you were just passin' by
Now I like to get loud
Go to the other side
Just to think, you were just passin' by
