Formed in 1988, Kim Deal, then bassist of the Pixies, formed The Breeders, named after the folk duo she led with her twin sister Kelley as a teenager, as a side-project with Throwing Muses guitarist Tanya Donelly.cite web | url=http://wm01.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:3ifuxqw5ldde~T1 | title=The Breeders > Biography | accessdate=2007-09-15 | author=Erlewine, Stephen Thomas; Phares, Heather | publisher="Allmusic"] After recording a demo tape, The Breeders signed to the English independent record label 4AD in 1989. Their debut album, "Pod" was released in 1989, but was not commercially successful. [Frank, Josh; Ganz, Caryn. "." Virgin Books, 2005. ISBN 0-312-34007-9. pp. 106-108] After the revival of the Pixies and Throwing Muses in 1990, The Breeders became mostly inactive until the Pixies' breakup in 1992 and 1993. With a new lineup, The Breeders released their "Safari" EP in 1992, and "Last Splash" in 1993. "Last Splash" was The Breeders' most successful album, and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1994. However, following 1994's "Head to Toe", The Breeders once again became inactive until 2002, when they released their third studio album, "Title TK".
