Female Bassists Represent at SXSW

Roll over Kim Gordon and Kim Deal! Females were well represented in all aspects of this year's SXSW music fest, but I think I noticed the bassists more than other female musicians – maybe because of the heft of the bass. I borrowed a few Flickr photos for the above image. Here's quick, non-comprehensive list of SXSW bands using women bass players:

• Superchunk (old school)
• Magneta Lane
• The Ponys
• Silversun Pickups
• The Subways
• Art Brut
• Serena Maneesh
• Rainer Maria
• The Willowz
• Knife Skills
• The Magic Numbers

Update: Rainer Maria photo, © 2006 Chris Foresman/Additive Theory. (I was attempting noncommercial use, but I'll attempt to credit other Flickr users as well. However, if you would like me to remove your photo or link to your site, please contact me.)
