Breeder-Fronted R. Ring Explains SXSW Gig Busted by ‘The Law’
R. Ring may be a relatively new band, but the duo of Mike Montgomery and Kelley Deal are no strangers to the music scene. Montgomery has played in the Cincinnati-based band Ampline for ten years, and Deal is guitarist for alt-rock mainstays the Breeders and the twin sister of Breeders frontwoman/Pixies bassist Kim Deal. R. Ring made their SXSW debut last week -- and had the police pull the plug at one of their shows in the most non-punk rock way ever.
