The Breeders At SXSW

Took in some of SXSW over the weekend and was lucky enough to get up near the front at The Breeders show. This is a pretty poor quality shot, but this was part of the backline:

That is one road-weary Marshall head that was being used by their newest support guitarist whom I completely missed her name when Kim said it. Both Kim and Kelley were also playing Marshalls: Kelley’s was looking brand new, Kim’s was beaten up and painted gold. Bass player Mando Lopez had a massive AMPEG rig and played mostly a Gibson Explorer bass.

The show was very good with a mix of new material from their upcoming Mountain Battles, but also a healthy dose of songs from Last Splash and Pacer (from Kim’s side project The Amps). Great to see them out and kicking ass again.

Here’s some video from Breeders Digest of the band during their Austin City Limits performance:
