So, what'd ya do if you're in a band and fans like you, but your frontman gets jealous and starts doing the [[I Am the Band]] thing and pisses you off?
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
However, this success proved [[Too Good to Last]]. The band wound down after Kelley ran into legal trouble for drug use, going into a long hiatus. Both sisters started up side projects, namely The Amps (Kim), the Kelley Deal 6000 and The Last Hard Men ([[Department of Redundancy Department|Kelley]]). MacPherson and Wiggs themselves left at some point during this hiatus. [[The Prodigy]] also [[Sampled Up]] their song "S.O.S." for the massive hit "Firestarter" while they were inactive.
 
The Breeders came out of their [[Ten -Minute Retirement]] around 1998, initially just with the Deal sisters. They returned to the studio with a new rhythm section (bassist Mando Lopez and drummer Jose Medeles) and guitarist to record ''Title TK'', released in 2002. ''TK'' shied away from the catchy accessibility of ''Splash'' and instead returned to the raw garage rock of ''Pod''. The band has since released another album and an EP with the same lineup.
