[edit] Music
The music of Sahbutino is inspired by each band member's influences, which include Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Steve Vai, and Eric Johnson. Sahbutino's lyrics aim to communicate to its listeners in a psychedelic manner. To a certain extent, the lyrics love to be enigmatic and extremely poetic.
[edit] Instruments used
The band relies heavily on electronic effects. As far as guitars, the three guitar players use fender guitars or basses. Their gear includes one RAT box and one Big Muff Pi. The band uses digital effects in live situations such as reverbs and delays, especially for the lead singer. The band uses an electronic drum set for home rehearsals, and acoustic drum set for live performances.
