Question 2

Why book Desi Roots through StarClinch? What are the advantages?

Question 3

Why should I consider Desi Roots for my event? What unique value do they bring?

Accepted Answer

If you want a performance that bridges the gap between soulful introspection and high-energy rock, these guys are the answer. Desi Roots isn't just a cover band; they are seasoned composers who have actually contributed to Bollywood soundtracks (like the title track for *Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene*).

Their experience—spanning over a decade—means they know how to read a room. Whether it's a corporate gala that needs a classy start or a college fest that needs a mosh pit, they adapt. They bring a rich history of working with legends like **Harshdeep Kaur** and **Indian Ocean**, so you’re getting top-tier professionalism along with that raw, infectious stage energy.

Question 4

What makes Desi Roots stand out compared to others in their field?

Accepted Answer

Honestly? It’s their specific flavor of fusion. A lot of bands play Bollywood, but Desi Roots blends it with a distinct mix of Sufi, Pop Rock, and Indie elements that feels genuinely fresh. They cite influences ranging from **Radiohead** to **Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan**, and you can actually hear that diversity in their sound.

They aren't just mimicking hits; they are creators. Having their single *Main Kyun Chahoon* featured on **MTV Indies** proves they have their own artistic identity. When you hire them, you aren't just getting background noise; you're getting a concert-level performance led by a cohesive unit: 
- **Sumit Pratihast** on vocals
- **Gavin Pacheco** on bass
- **Palash Bedi** on drums
- **Piyush Sachdeva** on guitars

Question 5

What kind of budget should I set aside to book Desi Roots?

Accepted Answer

To give you a ballpark, booking fees for Desi Roots generally fall between **₹50,000 and ₹2,00,000**.

However, keep in mind that "one price fits all" doesn't really exist in the live entertainment world. The final quote depends heavily on a few things:
1. **Location:** They are based in New Delhi. If your event is in Mumbai or Bangalore, travel and accommodation for the whole band and their gear will factor in.
2. **Duration:** Is it a 60-minute power set or a 2-hour journey?
3. **Event Type:** A private wedding gig might be priced differently than a ticketed public concert.

Your best bet? Use the inquiry form to get a custom quote tailored to your specific needs.

Question 6

What genres can I expect Desi Roots to cover during a performance?

Accepted Answer

They are incredibly versatile, which is why they are such a hit at diverse gatherings. They specialize in a blend of **Bollywood, Folk, Fusion, Rock, and Sufi**.

Think of it as a musical journey. They might start with a soulful Sufi number that sets a heavy, emotional atmosphere, and then seamlessly transition into a high-octane Bollywood rock anthem that gets everyone dancing. Their ability to fuse western rock elements (thanks to influences like Parikrama) with traditional Indian sounds makes them perfect for modern audiences who love a bit of everything.

Question 7

Is Desi Roots suitable for corporate events, or are they strictly a concert band?

Accepted Answer

They are absolutely suitable for corporate events, and they do them often. While they have the pedigree of a concert band (having played for colleges and universities), their decade of experience means they know how to polish their act for a professional setting.

Companies often struggle to find entertainment that isn't "too loud" or "too boring." Desi Roots hits that sweet spot. They can deliver a sophisticated performance that respects the decorum of a corporate dinner, or dial up the energy for an annual party. Their background working with professionals like **Swanand Kirkire** ensures they understand the importance of punctuality and client briefs.

Question 8

Does the band have specific technical requirements for their setup?

Accepted Answer

Yes, like any professional [Live Band](https://starclinch.com/book-band-online), they will have a technical rider. Since Desi Roots is a four-piece outfit featuring drums, bass, guitars, and vocals, they need a sound system capable of handling that dynamic range.

Typically, this includes:
*   A high-quality PA system suitable for the venue size.
*   Specific microphones for vocals and amps for the instruments.
*   Stage monitors so they can hear themselves.

Don't worry if you aren't a tech expert—once you start the booking process, we help communicate these requirements to your sound vendor to ensure the stage is set perfectly for their arrival.

Question 9

Can Desi Roots perform original songs at my event?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! In fact, it’s highly recommended if you want your event to stand out. Since they have composed for films and have original singles like *Main Kyun Chahoon*, they love integrating their own art into the setlist.

Of course, if you have a crowd that just wants to sing along to popular Bollywood tracks, they can balance the setlist to include plenty of familiar hits alongside their unique fusion covers and originals. It’s all about what works for your audience.
