Girl Germs Episode 6 – A Great Deal Of Deal
Kim and Kelley Deal are best known as the core members of The Breeders, one of our favorite bands here at Girl Germs. But the twin sisters have been involved in a plethora of projects, and along the way have inspired countless artists ranging from Nirvana to Sonic Youth to CSS. Kim and Kelley will turn 50 on June 10 (yay, Gemini twins!), so on this episode of Girl Germs Anna and Dana pay tribute to these great singers, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists by playing some of our favorite Breeders songs, as well as covers, rarities and side projects.
