Backstage with Bombay Show Pig

Hot on the heels of FILTER Culture Collide and the cusp of CMJ, Bombay Show Pig sat down with us to discuss festival life, their debut album, ‘Vulture/Provider‘, and what the remainder of 2013 has in store.

We caught up with the indie rock duo from Amsterdam following their final show in LA at Harvard and Stone. Between hashing out the differences between touring France and the US (less hamburgers), and impersonating industry types smartphone dependency, we learned that although they perform live as a duo, on the record you’ll hear Linda (drums/vocals) and Mathias (guitar/vocals), playing everything from melodic percussion to strings, and horns.

LA audiences were treated to a fuller sound thanks to guest appearances from bassist Adrian Rodriguez, who’s been touring with a personal, local favourite: Hanni El Khatib. They met appropriately at an after-hours hot spot, The Overpass, after a gig earlier this year.

Watch the interview to get the full scoop on what happens when Usher swings by your SXSW showcase (sadly no Bieber in tow), and be sure to give their low-fi, garage rock gems a listen.

Vulture/Provider‘ is now available worldwide on Spotify.
