For four local bands, this time it’s all about their stuff

Twin Brother

Twin Brother

(indie six-piece)

“It’s actually a xylophone case that I padded and gutted. It works fine and leaves space for more pedals. They’re all Velcro’d in because I’m always changing the lineup—every other month there’s two or three pedals switched out. I’m kind of a pedal nerd.” –guitarist/keyboardist Sonny Saipale

Petals

The Petals

(folk duo)

“We’ve had opportunities to collaborate with other people, use drums and add more equipment to our band, but we found that we really enjoy the simplicity of us two.” –guitarist/vocalist Heidi Guinn

Destruction of a Rose

Destruction of a Rose

(metal quintet)

“My guitar’s white, and I don’t clean it at all through a tour, because it’s bad luck for me, so by the end of the tour it’s all covered in dirt and sweat. It’s nasty. I love it, though.” –guitarist Gordon Lamont

Darby O'Gill and the Little People

Darby O’Gill and the Little People

(Irish pub quintet)

“I’ve had accordions that have lasted just one night; I play them pretty rough. I think the longest one I had was probably six months. In eight years I’ve been through 25-30 accordions.” –accordion player Joe Brailsford ("Ringo Malarkey")
