Question 2

Why book Across Seconds through StarClinch? What are the advantages?

The biggest perk? **Security.** Your payment is held safely in an escrow-like system until the performance happens, ensuring the artist is committed and you aren't left high and dry.

It’s peace of mind, plain and simple.

Question 3

Why should I consider Across Seconds for my event? What unique value do they bring?

Accepted Answer

If you want music that actually makes people stop and listen, this is it. Across Seconds isn't your typical background noise. They are an **instrumental powerhouse** that fuses heartwarming melodies with complex **odd time signatures and poly-rhythms**.

Think about it—most bands rely on a vocalist to engage the crowd. These guys do it purely through sound. They create a sonic journey that shifts from heavy riffs to atmospheric calm in a split second. Whether it's a corporate gala that needs sophistication or a college fest that needs energy, they bring a level of musicianship that is frankly rare to find. They don't just play songs; they construct unexpected musical architectures right in front of you.

Question 4

What makes Across Seconds stand out compared to others in their field?

Accepted Answer

Honesty? It's the sheer audacity of being an instrumental band in a vocal-dominated market. As their bio notes, "being an instrumental band is itself a task," and they nail it.

The band was born from **Dhawal Mehta’s** vision to create a group free of any specific genre box. They aren't just 'rock' or 'metal'—they are experimental and post-progressive. With **Swar Joshi** handling rhythm and lead guitars, **Karan Mehta** on drums, and **Kiran Kadadekar** on bass, they create a full, rich sound that feels complete without a single word being sung. They stand out because they challenge the audience to feel the music rather than just sing along to a chorus.

Question 5

What kind of musical influences can we expect in their set?

Accepted Answer

Oh, their musical DNA is a wild mix. If you are a fan of technical proficiency, you're in for a treat. Their sound draws heavily from giants like **Porcupine Tree** and **Dream Theater**, so expect those lush, complex layers.

But they also have a harder edge. You'll hear the aggressive influence of bands like **Slipknot**, **Lamb of God (LoG)**, and **Megadeth**. It’s this fusion—the delicate melodies of bands like *Coshish* colliding with the heaviness of *Zygnema*—that makes their live performance so dynamic. It’s heavy, it’s melodic, and it’s incredibly tight.

Question 6

How much does it cost to book Across Seconds for a performance?

Accepted Answer

To give you a ballpark, their fees generally range between **₹25,000 to ₹40,000**.

However—and this is important—the final number depends on a few things. Are they playing in Mumbai (their home base) or flying out? Is it a 45-minute power set or a 2-hour evening? Do you need them to bring their own backline or is the venue equipped? Since every event is different, the best move is to use the enquiry form to get a custom quote that matches your specific needs.

Question 7

Are they suitable for corporate events or just concerts?

Accepted Answer

They are surprisingly versatile. While they have the chops for a headbanging concert, the **instrumental nature** of their music makes them excellent for corporate settings too.

Because there are no vocals competing for attention, their music can serve as high-energy engagement or sophisticated atmosphere. They’ve played various events and know how to read a room. If you need a [book instrumentalist](https://starclinch.com/book-instrumentalist-online) vibe but with the energy of a full rock band, Across Seconds fits that niche perfectly.

Question 8

What are the technical requirements for hosting Across Seconds?

Accepted Answer

Since they are a live four-piece band, they can't just plug into a Bluetooth speaker. To get that signature sound—especially with the **poly-rhythms** and dynamic shifts—they need a professional setup.

Typically, this means:
*   **Full Drum Kit** (standard 5-piece usually works, but check the rider).
*   **Guitar & Bass Amps** (distinct channels are crucial for their dual-guitar interplay).
*   **Stage Monitors** so they can hear themselves (essential for staying in sync with odd time signatures).
*   **PA System** adequate for the venue size.

Don't worry if you aren't a tech wizard; once you book, they provide a detailed technical rider so your sound engineer knows exactly what to do.

Question 9

Who are the current members of the band?

Accepted Answer

The band has evolved over the years—starting with Dhawal, Mayuresh, and Karan, and later bringing in experienced folks like Samir Khot.

Currently, the lineup that drives this experimental engine includes:
*   **Swar Joshi** – Guitar
*   **Dhawal Mehta** – Guitar (the mastermind behind the genre-free concept)
*   **Karan Mehta** – Drums
*   **Kiran Kadadekar** – Bass

It’s this specific quartet that brings the chemistry you see on stage today.
