About
The Ettes are an energetic garage rock trio originally from New York, now based in Nashville. Formed in 2004, the group is composed of Lindsay "Coco" Hames (vocals, guitar), Maria "Poni" Silver (drums), and Jeremy "Jem" Cohen (bass). Their music blends raw garage rock with elements of Nashville indie, creating a sound that channels the fierce energy of 1960s rock with a contemporary twist. Known for their powerful live performances, The Ettes have carved out a niche with their blend of Nancy Sinatra-style flair and Stones-esque grit.
How to Sound Like The Ettes
To approximate The Ettes' sound, musicians should focus on capturing a raw, gritty sonic character with an emphasis on punchy rhythms and driving bass lines. Their guitar tones often feature a dirty, overdriven edge, likely achieved through the use of tube amps and distortion pedals. The bass provides a solid, rhythmic foundation that complements the energetic drumming style, characterized by dynamic, straightforward beats. To emulate their style, consider incorporating minimalistic yet effective arrangements that allow the raw energy of the instruments to shine. The Ettes' sound thrives on its unpolished, live feel, making it essential to embrace a more analog, less processed production approach to capture their spirited garage rock vibe.
