Kelley Deal (born June 10, 1961, in Dayton, Ohio) is the lead guitarist of The Breeders and the identical twin sister of musician Kim Deal.
Kelley was asked to play on the band's debut, Pod, but she didn't manage to get time off from work.

 The Breeders
By the four-song EP Safari, Deal was out of the Pixies and had enlisted her twin sister Kelley[?] to play guitar for the Breeders.
In 1995, Kelley Deal was involved in a drug bust, so sister Kim formed the side project the Amps[?] with MacPherson and two others.

 The Breeders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By the release of four-song EP Safari in 1992, Deal was done with Pixies and had enlisted her twin sister Kelley to play guitar for the Breeders.
In 1995, Kelley Deal was involved in a drug bust, so sister Kim formed the side project The Amps with MacPherson, bassist Luis Lerma (member of Dayton, OH band The Tasties) and guitarist Nate Farley, who later joined Guided By Voices.
Rumors of Kim Deal reuniting with the original band continued to circulate in the 90s, although the only material to surface was a cover of "Collage," recorded for The Mod Squad soundtrack in 1999.

 TrouserPress.com :: Breeders
Deal, singing and playing guitar (rather than the bass she shouldered in the Pixies), and Donelly (guitar/vocals) at least pretend to search for an equilibrium between the former's need for unchallenged turbulent discharge and the latter's predilection for firmly structured pop.
Deal was an ex-Pixie by the time the Breeders resurfaced on record, so the four-song Safari became a banner of her full-time future.
For her part, Kelley Deal returned to action in '96 with a new quartet and a self-released album.

 The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: The New Deal: From Riches to Rags
Deal is quick to emphasize that the band is not her solo act, and that all the members are equally important.
The Kelley Deal 6000 is the first outfit for which Deal has written songs, and she considers herself a newcomer to the art.
Deal's songs often have the character of a musical sketch rather than the typical plot of verse-chorus-verse, and studio effects enhance her ability to create the haunting atmosphere that she does on tracks like "Box." A swirling guitar echoes distantly in the background while the bass and another guitar play a repeated two chord motif.

 The Breeders - Biography - AOL Music
Taking their name from the group Deal led with her twin sister, Kelley, in their teens, the Breeders combined the spareness of Throwing Muses with the shifting dynamics and warped pop sensibilities of the Pixies.
Late in 1994, Kelley was arrested for drug possession and was sent to a rehab clinic in Minnesota; the rest of the band went their separate ways while she recuperated.
By early 1998, Kelley had rejoined the band and the duo continued to write and record songs, though the only song to surface from any of their sessions was a cover of 3 Degrees' "Collage," which appeared on the soundtrack to 1999's big-screen adaptation of The Mod Squad.

 Kelley Deal
Kelley's sister Kim made the honest mistake of telling a Spin reporter all about the situation on the eve of an intervention orchestrated by the Deal family last year, and Kelley is just as disarmingly candid, remarkably down to earth, and thoroughly engaging, even when conversation turns to what she calls her "12-step thingy."
Anyway, Kelley's had other important things to focus on, like writing, producing, playing on, and then setting up her own label for one of the most pleasant surprises so far this year: the Kelley Deal 6000's Go to the Sugar Altar (Nice).
Kelley focused that energy and desire into an 11-track debut that has its roots in the skewed, noisy pop of the Breeders but branches out in ways that few would have reason to expect from someone who didn't know how to play guitar five years ago.

Deal's vocals are indeed the most significant feature on the album, which also displays an often subtle but consistently effective instrumentation.
Deal founded the label in 1995 and has since managed it and staffed it with the aid of guitarist Todd Mund.
Currently, the kelley deal 6000 is the only band signed to the label, which makes the administrative aspects a bit easier: "Anything we do for the band or the label is tied together."

Boom!" is the second full-length album to come from "The Kelley Deal 6000." Their previous album, "go to the sugar altar" was a surprise to fans and critics alike, and started former "Breeders" member Kelley Deal on the road to success.
Kelley admits in one interview to not being much of a musician, and when her sister Kim asked her to join "The Breeders" she didn't even know how to play the guitar.
Kelley says it herself, "Maybe it was just that I had the ability to focus on something long enough, and I think probably a lot of it had to do, too, with---and I don't mean this against Kim at all---that I wasn't around her.

It's true that Deal may have little left of her that hasn't already been revealed through the music press or through her narcotic dirges, but there is one truth and fact that no one can ever rob her of, and that's that she's made it over half-way and on her own terms.
Deal is like the proverbial shooting-star who burns brightly and suddenly diffuses into a shower of half-lit cinders and at the last moment takes one last lunge upwards again.
The euphoria that filters through Deal's every word and laidback mood is attributable to one demon that she has finally taken by the horns and tamed.

Her beloved Breeders are about to re-emerge after a voluntary two-year absence during which twin sister Kelley Deal cleaned up a nasty drug habit and Kim knocked around with a low-key side project called the Amps.
Kelley's "stuff" has included living close to her place of rehab in St. Paul, and staying clean long enough, as Kim proudly reports, to qualify for her "two-year medallion." Wiggs was last spotted fronting the loose and funky Josephine Wiggs Experience, who released a so-so disc on Grand Royal last year.

JOHN T. When the four members of The Kelley Deal 6000 ascended the stage wearing mounted snare drums, the gesture heralded a set that would be anything but predictable.
Deal stepped up to the mic, said a quick hello to the anxious crowd and tapped her snare drum four times to count off "Total War." In unison, the band chanted the monotone lyrics and pounded a martial drum cadence.

 Nude as the News: The Breeders: Title TK
Kelley had bouts with heroin addiction, MacPherson bolted for Guided By Voices and then family life, and Kim struggled to write and record a new Breeders album many times.
Deal reportedly learned how to play the drums during the years since the Amps fell apart, and though only part of the skins work on Title TKis actually hers, the album's rhythm definitely has a deliciously amateurish feel to it.
Deal sounds especially vulnerable on the beautiful first single "Off You," on which her lyrics are delivered tenderly through the pot-hazy sonics.

Regardless of whether this is her or not, I have to say that I was hoping that the opening band for this tour would eventually turn out to be the Kelley Deal 6000.
It would be great exposure for Kelley and great to see them touring together (maybe even have them each play a song with the other's band?).
