Question 3

Why should I consider 13th Notion for my event? What unique value do they bring?

Accepted Answer

If you want polite background music, look elsewhere. But if you want a **[Live Band](https://starclinch.com/book-band-online)** that will absolutely wake up your crowd, this is it. Hailing from Kolkata, 13th Notion isn't just playing tracks; they are bringing their own brand of ferocity to the songs.

I mean, their stated goal is to 'djent' through the listener's busy lives—that’s a very specific, punchy, rhythmic heavy metal style that hits hard. They are currently in their recording period, which usually means a band is at their creative peak. They promise to 'lay waste to the venue' with their tracks, which is metal-speak for delivering a high-octane, unforgettable performance. It's raw energy, perfect for college fests or clubs where the audience needs to feel the bass in their chest.

Question 4

What makes 13th Notion stand out compared to other bands in the metal circuit?

Accepted Answer

It's their blend of technical skill and ethos. They live by a pretty intense motto: **'Hard work, Integrity, Struggle and Hope.'** You can hear that struggle and hope in the progressive twists they put on the standard metal formula.

While many bands just play loud, these guys are drawing from complex influences like *Periphery*, *Tesseract*, and *Meshuggah*. That means you're getting polyrhythms, heavy grooves, and technical proficiency, not just noise. Plus, being based in West Bengal, they bring a certain regional grit to their sound that distinguishes them from the generic metal scene. They are striving to be the forerunners of metal in their circle, and that ambition translates to a serious stage presence.

Question 5

What kind of events are best suited for a performance by 13th Notion?

Accepted Answer

They are a **Metal/Progressive** outfit, so context is key. They thrive in environments where the energy is high and the audience is ready to engage.

*   **College Festivals:** This is their bread and butter. Students love the 'djent' energy.
*   **Clubs and Pub Gigs:** Especially those with a rock or alternative night.
*   **Private Parties:** If the host is a metalhead, obviously!

Basically, any venue looking to bring a new twist to the metal formula will fit right in. They’ve done numerous gigs at cafes and clubs, so they know how to adapt their ferocity to different stage sizes, but don't expect a quiet acoustic set—they are there to rock.

Question 6

Who are the members of 13th Notion, and what is the lineup?

Accepted Answer

A band is only as tight as its members, right? 13th Notion runs a classic five-piece setup, which allows for that dense, layered sound typical of progressive metal.

*   **Apratim Bhattacharya** handles the Vocals (expect range!).
*   **Saptarshi P Basu** and **Dibyojyoti Guha** are on Guitars—having two guitarists is crucial for those harmonized leads and heavy rhythm sections.
*   **Rudrarup Banerjee** holds down the low end on Bass.
*   **Rabishankar Routh** is on Drums, driving the complex time signatures.

This full lineup ensures that the sound is robust and fills the room, exactly as you'd expect from a group influenced by heavyweights like *Monuments* and *Volumes*.

Question 7

What are the technical requirements for hosting a band like 13th Notion?

Accepted Answer

Since they are a full **[Live Band](https://starclinch.com/book-band-online)**, they’ll need a proper sound setup to ensure their technical proficiency cuts through. We aren't talking about a single mic and a speaker here.

Generally, you'll need a drum kit (or ample space for theirs), amplifiers for two guitars and a bass, and a quality PA system for Apratim's vocals. Monitors are essential so they can hear themselves—especially with the complex rhythms in Djent music. When you book, we can help you coordinate their technical rider to make sure the venue doesn't get 'laid waste to' in the wrong way (like a blown fuse!).

Question 8

How much does it cost to book 13th Notion for a gig?

Accepted Answer

Budgeting is always the tricky part, isn't it? Generally speaking, their performance fee falls in the range of **₹10,000 to ₹30,000**.

However, take that as a ballpark. The final quote depends heavily on things like travel (since they are based in Kolkata), the duration of the set, and the type of equipment provided by the venue. For a college fest in West Bengal, it might be on the lower end, but an out-of-station private gig would naturally cost more. The best move? Hit the enquiry button for a custom quote—it costs nothing to ask.

Question 9

Are they currently active and accepting new bookings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. While their profile notes that they are currently in their **recording period**—working on those tracks to 'djent' through your busy life—they are very much active on the gig circuit.

In fact, catching a band during their recording phase is often a treat because they are tight, practiced, and eager to test out new material live. They maintain themselves as forerunners of metal by staying active, so whether it's a cafe gig or a festival slot, they are ready to bring the heat.
