Bleeding Rainbow – Pedalboards

I’m very lucky to live here in Missoula, Montana. When I talk to friends out of state, they usually ask “what do you do there”. Montana is quite beautiful so the easy answer is to go out and experience nature, but I also know they often ask that question, in the sense of nightlife entertainment. Missoula is a great college town, but it also is en route to Seattle from the East. If you’re on a band tour and traveling from Fargo, ND or Minneapolis, MN and wanting to connect the West Coast to Seattle, etc., there isn’t a lot between there, except for Missoula and Bozeman. What this translates to.. great shows in small intimate locations. Missoula, currently has a very healthy local music scene, and it was awesome for the band I’m in (Magpies) to have an opportunity to play with Bleeding Rainbow from Philadelphia, PA on their US tour.

Bleeding RainbowPrior to the show, I was not familiar with the band, so I took a little YouTube journey, and was blown away. I was instantly hooked by the guitars and vocals. Complex guitar textures and nice inner play. Vocals are hard and soft and hooky yet aggressive. I can hear a lot of familiar influences – but they were good and consolidating and providing a focused “sound” that was truly theirs.

Check this out…

and this…

Talking with them at the bar prior to the show, they mentioned they were fans of EffectsBay, so I thought it would be fun to do a pedalboard break down. Please check out their Tour page to see if they’re playing in a town near you. They’re definitely worth checking out!!!

So let’s start with Al Creedon. He was playing through a Fender Twin (not 100% sure about that) and has perfected the sonic punch to the face with shimmery melodies. A great guitarist.

Next we have Sarah Everton on bass. She is also one of the vocalists in Bleeding Rainbow.

Finally we have Rob Garcia. I absolutely loved his Fender Jazzmaster and tone. He swapped out the bridge with a humbucker, and I believe the neck was a Novak. His amp was a Sovtek Mig 60. I haven’t seen Sovteks in a while, and I was blown away by that head. Rob also provides vocals.

I feel weird that I’m not mentioning Ashley Arnwine, who is the drummer of Bleeding Rainbows. Obviously, no pedalboard, but I was blown away with her drumming. Hard hitting. Wow. This band has it all. Again, check out Bleeding Rainbow!!!
