Couch Guitar Straps

Airborne Toxic Event just finished playing a great bill at the annual South By Southwest Music Conference at Buffalo Billiards. They shared the stage with Black Angels, Hanni El Khatib and Ash. It was a good March for them as they also got a chance last week to play their song Timeless on David Letterman. […]

We sometimes get messages wondering if our straps are long enough for some 6’7″ guy, or short enough for some 5’7″ guy (like us). The answer is: YES! Couch straps adjust about 6 inches longer than the average strap, which is 67″ fully extended from keyhole to keyhole. With the strap in its middle adjustment […]

Someone forwarded us this clip recently of Grammy Award Winning folk band Bon Iver live at Radio City Music Hall showing instrumentalist Michael Lewis with a Couch White and Black Racer X Guitar Strap on his Fender Bass. Nice! Mike Lewis is a saxophonist and bassist from Minneapolis Minnesota and is a member of several […]

We celebrated our Los Angeles Indian Summer last night by bringing a bottle of wine and some BBQ Kettle Chips to The Hollywood Bowl to catch Wilco on their last night of a long tour. We love Wilco, but to be honest we’re not sure how prepared we were for how amazing their live show […]

Like billions of other people around the world, we were sitting around with our family last month watching the closing ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympic Games when our dad joked “when are we going to see someone on here with a COUCH guitar strap?” Crazily enough, 5 minutes later, Rock and Roll Hall of […]

We were watching our favorite band’s Youtubes for Coachella 2012- and that certainly includes Portland Oregon’s (and D.C.’s) Wildflag’s performance of their single Romance. We already had seen their SXSW 2012 version, but the quality of this one’s much better. Anyway, holy crap, guitarist Carrie Brownstein is fully rocking a Couch 80’s Mercedes Guitar Strap […]

Multi-instrumentalist, singer- songwriter, Andrew Bird and his band stopped by Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report for a quick interview recently; and to play 2 songs off their new record “Break It Yourself”. Luckily, we happened to be watching the show to see the performance, because we noticed guitar player Jeremy Ylvisaker was wearing a Couch […]

We were pretty excited when Brian May’s equipment manager called us up at Couch about getting the multi platinum Queen guitarist some straps. Needless to say it was cool when this video surfaced recently of Brian performing at Italy’s HUGE San Remo Festival and television event with his Black Byloos Couch Guitar Strap. Brian performed […]

It was by a random act of Facebookness that we ran into these profile pictures of The Muff’s Kim Shattuck with her Racer X Couch Guitar Strap the other day! We’ve been fans of The Muffs since we were little kids so it’s always brilliant at Couch when we see people we love and admire […]

We were stoked to see that UK’s biggest rock/alt/metal magazine Kerrang! featured Rise To Remain on a recent cover. Like the cover says, EMI Record’s Rise To Remain are “Leading the rebirth of British Rock”. They have toured with Iron Maiden, Funeral For a Friend, and done the Soundwave and Sonisphere Festivals. They’ve received airplay […]
