Hippo Campus’ Nathan Stocker
Don’t dismiss these young cats from Minnesota just because they barely graduated from the Kidspalooza stage—the members are between 19 and 21 years old. You can’t deny the catchy-as-hell, twin-guitar grooves displayed at Lollaplooza Saturday afternoon. Stocker mainly used a ’62 Fender American Vintage Series Telecaster Custom because as he put it: “This guitar is so easy to play for my wee-little hands and the classic Tele pickups allow me to achieve a surf-y and elegant tone, while being able to rock out when I want to.”
