When Kim was starting the Breeders and still going by Mrs. John Murphy she was interested in using a drummer I played with.
She and a couple of other Pixies stopped by a gig we did at the Rat in Boston and at the break she was gushing about how she wished she could play the bass like I did. After hearing her play I could see why
She told me she had removed the Marshall logo from her amp because she was embarassed about using such a "macho" amp
She has her own sound and feel, that's for sure!
