In 1995, Kelley was involved in a drug bust, which put The Breeders on an indefinite hiatus. Kim formed a side project, [[The Amps]], with Macpherson, Dayton locals bassist Luis Lerma (member of The Tasties) and guitarist Nate Farley, who later joined [[Guided by Voices]]. In October 1995, The Amps released the album ''[[Pacer (album)|Pacer]]''.

Following drug rehab, Kelley started [[The Kelley Deal 6000]], also forming [[The Last Hard Men (band)|The Last Hard Men]] with [[Skid Row (American band)|Skid Row]] singer [[Sebastian Bach]], [[Smashing Pumpkins]] drummer [[Jimmy Chamberlin]], and [[Jimmy Flemion]] of [[The Frogs (band)|The Frogs]].

Meanwhile, in New York, Wiggs recorded and co-produced the [[Kostars]]' album ''Klassics with a K'', a [[Luscious Jackson]] side-project (also touring with them playing drums), released a solo album on the [[Beastie Boys]]' [[Grand Royal]] label, and released an album on Atlantic Records under the name [[Dusty Trails]] with [[Luscious Jackson]] keyboardist [[Vivian Trimble]].

In 1996, Kim reclaimed The Breeders moniker, but with essentially The Amps' lineup plus violinist [[Carrie Bradley]], and played a few California dates. They made an unsuccessful attempt at recording a third studio album in 1997. Kelley Deal rejoined the band the following year and wrote and recorded songs with her sister, although the only material released during this period was a cover of The Three Degrees' take on James Gang's "Collage", recorded for ''[[The Mod Squad (film)|The Mod Squad]]'' soundtrack in 1999.<ref name="allmusic" />
