Sidd Coutto is a prolific musician to say the least. Drummer of Zero, 3 Guys And A Girl, Ankur & The Ghalat Family, frontman of erstwhile band Helga’s Fun Castle, ex-drummer of Airport, frontman of alt rockers Tough On Tobacco and now also a solo artist (stream music here), Sidd Coutto is everywhere.
With a warped sense of humor and an uncanny ability to write some of the best hooks of the scene in the last decade, Coutto has a knack of making songs stick in your head with an easy melody. At his recent solo album launch (photos here), Coutto did everything, well almost, by himself to create the music of his solo album on stage, with a little help from his friends.
He tells us about the guitars he uses – an Epiphone EJ 200 (acoustic), an SG Standard and sometimes borrows a Gibson Hummingbird as well
(laughs) How do I explain this to you? It’s a little difficult to put it down, but it helps me having reliable guitars. Yeah, they’re very reliable. They look good on stage, and most importantly they sound perfect. It’s all very plausible.
His bandmate, Ankur Tewari of Ankur & The Ghalat Family uses a Gibson guitar too (follow Gibson Guitar India on Facebook to find more indie rockers who use Gibson guitars). More on that tomorrow. As always, stay tuned.
