Vido

About Me


Vido is a revolution. A renaissance. Vido is bittersweet and intertwining. Vido is thin lacy sinews, curling ethereally like wisps of smoke. Delicate and fresh, Vido reinvents itself with each new-born. Vido is softly layered like snow with silky threads that contrast and combine. Ah. The story ends soft as it began. This is the Vido sound. This is the Vido sound. Go out and form a band.
The creative backbones of the band are Samir Merchant--chief poet, daydreamer, and lick composer--and Rohan Choksi--the melodic, arranger, and visonary. Fronted by Patrick Gerlich's swaying vocals, bordered by Suveer Khemlani's tight, taunting beats, gelled by Rohan Choksi's crunching yet soft rhythms, and Samir Merchant's broken lightning riffs--they are ready to blow this city. Just you wait!

Latest Band News!

Ladies and gents, it's been a while.


Latest projects:


New look MySpace!
If you hadn't noticed by now, you 'd truly be a twazzock.
"Nothing Ever Changes" Final Cut is Up!
The mix has finally been refined and after long last, it's sounding as it deserves to.
New Song: "Nina"
(Soon to be recorded.)
Fan Favourite: "Veto'd"
(Recording to be scheduled.)
Band Favourite: "Throw Me a Dream"?
Remember that song we played at the Jammies? Or do you remember instead basses groaning and amplifiers going completely and noisily out of control amidst a group of confused musicians? Yes. Perhaps we will do something better with that song anyways...
And of course, whatever else the boys have stashed up their sleeves to keep you lot on your toes...
A good day to you, fine sir/lovely lady.
Please show some Vido love and leave us a comment if you've got nothing better to do or if you have just been overwhelmingly charmed by the above greeting.

The Vido Movie! Oh yes, it's still up! Just for whoever would like to see another side of the movement that is Vido...particularly a French one.

Well, here's something important too.


The actual Vido video.
Shot on a rooftop atop Malabar Hill by Bollywood's finest, Binoy Gandhi, this the video to Nothing Ever Changes (You). 'Tis soon to appear (or maybe it has already) on VH1 and MTV (India), but now you can see it here too.
Enjoy.

The Gig

Wow. The gig last night was incredible. The band would like to thank the energetic crowd that got off their seats, as we took to the stage, for giving us the juice we needed. We have to apologize for...
