By the release of the Breeder's four-song EP Safari in 1992, Kim Deal was done with the Pixies and had enlisted Kelley to play guitar for the Breeders. Donelly left the band to form Belly, and drummer Jim MacPherson joined in time for Last Splash in 1993. The album spawned the hit, "Cannonball."

In 1995, Kelley Deal was involved in a drug bust, so Kim formed the side project The Amps with MacPherson, bassist Luis Lerma (member of Dayton band The Tasties) and guitarist Nate Farley, who later joined Guided By Voices. The Amps released the album Pacer in October of 1995. Following drug rehab, Kelley started the Kelley Deal 6000 and also formed the unlikely Last Hard Men with Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach, ex-Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlain, and Jimmy Flemion of The Frogs.
