Scott Clark, Sidd Coutto and Gillian Grassie played a Bombay Elektrik Project organised singer-songwriter night on Thursday, January 27. We were there.

Notes

1. Bombay Elektrik Project’s Cafe Goa residency is seeing a lot more music related events of late and while the Bandra restuarant may not be perhaps the ideal venue for live music, it’s the open-ness of the restaurant to these intimate events that’s refreshing.
2. First up this singer-songwriter night was Scott Clark, a freelance photographer by day and an emo-y, open mic-ish songwriter by night.
3. Clark’s set was uninspired, bedroom pop that needs a lot of work to sound even half rewarding.
4. Sidd Coutto and guitarist Gaurav Gupta, who performed under the moniker Tiny TOT, played next.
5. Coutto debuted a bunch of new songs (video soon) including one called ‘Love Love Love’ that wasn’t a Shaa’ir + Func cover, though this was.
6. Harpist Gillian Grassie closed the night with her Regina Spektor inspired indie pop-folk.
7. The highlight of her set was an extended Celtic medley she performed near the end.

We took a bunch of pictures at the gig. Here are a few.
