The Amps were an American alternative rock band formed by Kim Deal in 1995, while her band the Breeders went on hiatus. The group consisted of Deal, on lead vocals and rhythm guitar; Luis Lerma on bass; Nate Farley on lead guitar; and Jim Macpherson of the Breeders on drums. The group was named when Kim Deal started calling herself Tammy Ampersand, and the band Tammy and the Amps which eventually became The Amps. Releasing only one album, Pacer, which was recorded at several different studios, The Amps first session, at Easley Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, was engineered by Davis McCain and Doug Easley. Deal recorded several new songs, including what would later become Pacer's only single, "Tipp City". Following the Easley Studios session, recording for Pacer continued at six other locations in total, including studios in Chicago, Los Angeles, Dublin, and Deal's Midwest hometown, Dayton, Ohio. Engineers Steve Albini, John Agnello, Bryce Goggin and others each helped record one or more of these sessions.
